Popis: | A newly isolated microalgal strain, Desmodesmus sp. PW1, possessing not only high potential for removing nitrogen and phosphorous from piggery wastewater but excellent self-flocculating ability, was provided here. Strain PW1 grew well in diluted and undiluted piggery wastewater, and could effectively remove total nitrogen and total phosphorus with removal rates up to 90% and 70%, respectively. In the laboratory scale by 30-L photobioreactor, microalga also performed well in TN (65.3%) and TP (83.5%) removal. Strain PW1 cultivated in the stationary phase achieved high self-flocculating efficiency (>90%) in 2.5 h of settling; meanwhile, temperature and pH slightly influenced on the flocculation. The potential mechanism on self-flocculation was considered related to hydrophobic extracellular polymeric substances. Furthermore, the fatty acid compositions of PW1 were mainly hexadecanoic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. Taken together, Desmodesmus sp. PW1 was the promising candidate to overcome the microalgae harvesting problem in piggery wastewater treatment. |
