Abstract
This presentation comprises a review on the use of immobilized algae for wastewater nitrogen, phosphorus and metal removal purposes. Details of the use of immobilized algae, the techniques of immobilization and the effects of immobilization on cell function are included. Particularly relevant in their use for heavy metal removal from wastewaters; upon enriching the biomass in metal, can be recoverd, thereby providing economic advantages. The use of immobilized microalgae in these processes is very adequate and offers significant advantages in bioreactors. The future of this area of algal cell biotechnology is considered.Entities:
