This review proposes a new bioremediation method based on the diverse functionalities of algae. A greenway for cleansing wastewater is more ecologically friendly and environmentally sustainable than prior methods with other bacteria. New bioremediation technology employing algae and cyanobacteria for the removal of a wide range of organic contaminants is reasonable and has great potential. The prevalence of organic contaminants in aquatic habitats may endanger the health and well-being of several marine creatures. Agriculture, industry, and household trash are just a few of the human-caused sources of organic pollutants that contaminate waterways around the world. Before wastewater can be released into waterways, it must be cleaned. Algae-based wastewater treatment systems are becoming increasingly popular because of their environmental sustainability and lack of secondary pollutants. According to the kind of pollutant, the physicochemical properties of wastewater, and the algal species, algae and cyanobacteria can absorb and accumulate a wide spectrum of organic pollutants at different rates. In addition, phytoremediation is a cost-effective alternative to conventional treatments for degrading organic contaminants. Phycoremediationally produced algal biomass may also be an important part of the bioenergy value chain. This article focuses on microalgae and cyanobacteria species, which may remove many organic contaminants from water systems.
本综述提出了一种基于藻类多种功能的新型生物修复方法。与其他细菌相比，利用藻类清洁废水的绿色途径在生态上更友好，在环境上更可持续。利用藻类和蓝藻去除各种有机污染物的新型生物修复技术是合理的，具有巨大的潜力。水生生物栖息地中有机污染物的流行可能会危及许多海洋生物的健康和福祉。农业、工业和家庭垃圾只是造成世界各地水道受到有机污染物污染的人为污染源中的一小部分。在废水可以排入水道之前，必须对其进行处理。由于藻类废水处理系统具有环境可持续性和无二次污染物的特点，因此越来越受欢迎。根据污染物的种类、废水的物理化学性质和藻类的种类，藻类和蓝藻可以以不同的速度吸收和积累广泛的有机污染物。此外，植物修复是降解有机污染物的传统处理方法的一种具有成本效益的替代方法。藻类生物量也可能是生物能源价值链的重要组成部分。本文重点介绍了可能从水系统中去除许多有机污染物的微藻和蓝藻物种。
