Potential of Treated Dairy Waste Water for the Cultivation of Algae and Waste Water Treatment by Algae
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Algae (singular Algae) is a term that encompasses many different groups of living organism. Algae capture light energy through photosynthesis and convert inorganic substances into simple sugar. Algae made up of eukaryotic cells and range from single cell to multicellular organisms. All algae have plastids, with chlorophyll that carry out photosynthesis, but various lines of algae can have different combinations of chlorophyll molecules; some contained chlorophyll A, some possess Chl. A-B and A-C. These are the most robust organism on earth, able to grow in a wide range of conditions . Algal strains, diatoms, and cyanobacteria have been found to contain proportionally high levels of lipids (over 30%). Ajmer Milk Dairy treated waste water was further treaded by Algae. Treatment level of waste water determined by estimation of ammonia, Nitrate, Phosphorous, DO (Dissolved oxygen) and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand). The growth pattern of algal samples were observed by chlorophyll estimation ,Biomass Estimation (Dry weight) method. Algae are an important bioremediation agent and are already being used by many wastewater facilities. The treated dairy waste water are used for algal growth and final product of algal growth are used as a biomass for biofuel production and this treated dairy waste also treated by that algae and use in further many work such as in agriculture, other industrial process.
