Porous substrate bioreactors (PSBRs) are a new technology to grow microalgae immobilized in a dense culture and solve some problems linked to suspended cultivation. During recent years, this technology has been used in laboratory and pilot setups in different fields of environmental biotechnology, such as wastewater treatment. The aim of this short review is to introduce the PSBR technology, summarize the results obtained in removing some pollutants from wastewater, provide an assessment of the potential of PSBRs for wastewater treatment, and the subsequent use of the algal biomass for other purposes.
多孔基质生物反应器（PSBRs）是一种用于培养高密度固定化微藻的新技术，可解决与悬浮培养相关的一些问题。近年来，该技术已在环境生物技术的不同领域用于实验室和中试装置，如废水处理。本简短综述的目的是介绍PSBR技术，总结在去除废水中某些污染物方面所取得的成果，评估PSBRs用于废水处理的潜力，以及藻类生物质随后用于其他目的的情况。
