Abstract
Currently, there is an increased need for more sustainable production
processes and to move towards zero-waste manufacturing. In this sense,
microalgae have been used as an alternative to traditional remediation
techniques with the advantage of generating high value-added products.
Some of the industries with the highest amount of waste streams belong
to the agro-industrial, food and beverages. Based on this premise, a
database compiling different studies in which microalgae were cultured
with a working volume of at least 5 L and with industrial wastewater as
substrate was developed (>TRL5). The aim of the present review is to
provide a roadmap into microalgae use regarding biomass productivity,
biomass concentration, removal of nitrogen, phosphorus and Chemical
Oxygen Demand and the percentages of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates
reported in the literature to better guide academics and industrial
stakeholders on making decision to further optimize and valorize their
side-streams.
