Larissa Quartaroli, Patrícia Bragança Sakamoto, Rodrigo Braga Moruzzi, Gustavo Henrique Ribeiro da Silva

Summary

Researchers tested whether Moringa oleifera seeds — a natural plant-based coagulant — combined with PVC could efficiently separate microalgae from wastewater, optimizing the process using statistical design methods. Effective microalgae harvesting from wastewater supports sustainable biomass production and cleaner water treatment processes.

Study Type Environmental

This study explores microalgae separation efficiency using coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (CFS) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and various Moringa oleifera seed (MO) extracts as coagulants. Anaerobically digested domestic wastewater from the Candeia Wastewater...
