This document summarizes the use of phycoremediation, a bioremediation technique using algae, to treat domestic and industrial wastewater. It discusses how wastewater from various sources produces pollutants that degrade the environment. Conventional wastewater treatment is inefficient compared to techniques using algae, which are cost-effective and ecofriendly. The document reviews 170 publications and concludes that phycoremediation can effectively treat wastewater by removing nutrients and other contaminants while also producing valuable byproducts like fertilizers and biofuels. It outlines challenges with algal technology but also improvements that can address limitations and expand industrial applications of algae for wastewater remediation.
