algae can be used in the waste water treatment |
|---|
|
water pollution is increasing day by day. less then 1% of world's population is getting fresh water. water is polluted by the heavy metals and organic waste. these cause eutrophication and other related problems because of these organic and inorganic waste. A sustainable method to eliminate these problems is the use of algae cultures. these algae cultures will make the water clean. these will oxidize the organic waste. Inorganic waste also be accumulated inside these algae. it will clean the water from both organic and inorganic waste. It is also a sustainable method because these algae will not harm the environment. Another method is the use of algae mats. Ceramium, ectocarpus and entromorpha species of algae are grown on the net and water is passed through them these will absorb the water heavy metals.these mats should be replaced regularly. we can apply this on large scale in the sewage system, in agricultural crops which willbe effective in reducing health hazardous.

Very interesting & Eco-Friendly way to cleanse water. This must be researched further & if viable must be used at a larger scale.

Great news, Ahtisham! I've only heard of water purification facility using chemicals like Cl. Using algae sounds more natural and harmless for the environment and our body. Thank you for sharing the great news :D

Use of algae in waste water treatment seems very eco- friendly with great utility in waste water treatment. This use should be disseminated to a wider mass for implication.
Thank you for sharing Arshad :)

Sound interesting. I do agree that people use organism or like bio treatment for cleaning water rather than using certain chemicals. It is more environmental friendly. Thank you for sharing
