Application of microalgae in wastewater treatment with special reference to emerging contaminants: a step towards sustainability
This review highlights how various microalgae species can help remove emerging contaminants from wastewater, including microplastics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and harmful chemicals. The organisms use mechanisms like biosorption, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation to break down or capture these pollutants. The authors connect these microalgae-based treatment technologies to broader sustainability goals, while noting that scaling from lab to industrial applications remains a challenge.
