Nutrient removal in aquaculture wastewater and recovery as microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus quadricauda) biomass in alginate-chitosan matrix

Microalgal systems for treatment of aquaculture wastewater are effective but recovery of biomass proves difficult and at a high cost. Immobilization of microalgae offers a quicker way to separate biomass from the wastewater. However, commonly used matrices like alginate are unstable and prone to deg...
