“…Many studies have demonstrated that dead algal biomass may be even more effective than living algae in sequestering heavy metals [304,305]. The major advantages of using dead biomass in biosorption include (i) low cost, (ii) high efficiency of heavy metal removal from diluted solutions, (iii) minimizing the formation of chemical and/or biological sludges, (iv) no nutrient requirements for microorganism growth and the absence of toxicity limitations and (v) the possibility of metal recovery and regeneration of the biosorbent [162,268,306]. Moreover, biosorption can produce high-quality clean effluents, and due to the reversible adsorption process, the biosorbents used can be renewed through desorption in some cases [307].…”

The pollution of the aquatic environment has become a worldwide problem. The widespread use of pesticides, heavy metals and pharmaceuticals through anthropogenic activities has increased the emission of such contaminants into wastewater. Pharmaceuticals constitute a significant class of aquatic contaminants and can seriously threaten the health of non-target organisms. No strict legal regulations on the consumption and release of pharmaceuticals into water bodies have been implemented on a global scale. Different conventional wastewater treatments are not well-designed to remove emerging contaminants from wastewater with high efficiency. Therefore, particular attention has been paid to the phycoremediation technique, which seems to be a promising choice as a low-cost and environment-friendly wastewater treatment. This technique uses macro- or micro-algae for the removal or biotransformation of pollutants and is constantly being developed to cope with the issue of wastewater contamination. The aims of this review are: (i) to examine the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in water, and their toxicity on non-target organisms and to describe the inefficient conventional wastewater treatments; (ii) present cost-efficient algal-based techniques of contamination removal; (iii) to characterize types of algae cultivation systems; and (iv) to describe the challenges and advantages of phycoremediation.

“…Thus, phycoremediation can be used for to extract nutrient from municipal wastewater/effluents which are rich in organic matter; to complete removal/transformation and degradation of xenobiotic compounds utilizing as biosorbent; to treatment of acidic wastewaters; to sequestrate CO 2 ; and to detect toxic compounds using algae-based biosensors. There are various studies which recommends the removal of nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewater to protect the waterbodies from eutrophication [5,[8][9][10][11][12]. The controlled growth of algae in wastewater leads to reduction of contamination load on natural resources and can also be enhance reuse efficiency.…”

“…The controlled growth of algae in wastewater leads to reduction of contamination load on natural resources and can also be enhance reuse efficiency. The utilization of algae in the treatment of different waste such as agro-based industrial wastes, sewage, industrial wastes (metal finishing, paper, and textile) and even landfill leachate [10,[12][13][14][15]. Waste mitigation potential of an algal species entirely depends on the algal productivity, nutrient and pollutant removal efficiency, and cost of biomass harvest [16][17][18].…”

In the recent years, due to heavy surge in the price of petrochemical products, researchers are getting interest towards renewable bioenergy resources such as algal-based biomass. In order to meet a world energy demand, current bioeconomy challenges and to produce valuable products, intensive and integrated research on algal biorefinery is highly required. Even though several research carried out study for the conversion of algae biomass to biofuel, but none of these proved economically viable. Hence, range of value added product (biodiesel, biochar, fertilizer, etc.) must be produced subsequently from algae. The utilization of microalgae for biomass production is better than agricultural crops as microalgae do not required fresh water for its growth, it can readily grow on wastewater throughout the year. Generation of wastewater is severe concern throughout the world and discharge of wastewater without proper treatment in to water bodies causes water pollution. Microalgae bear vast potential in significantly deescalating pollutant load (nitrate, TDS, ammonium, phosphate, organic load) from wastewater. The harvested algal biomass after remediation has significance role in producing biofuels and by-products in a sustainable way. In this chapter, emphasis would be given on role of algae in wastewater treatment and its biorefinary approach for sustainable energy development.
