- MakaleAçık Erişim2024Scopus SJRQ3Lipid content and wastewater treatment potential of Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus isolated from Uzuncaylr Dam Lake
Can, Şafak Seyhaneyildiz; Can, Erkan; Yilmaz, Kadir
Production of microalgae for biodiesel, one of the alternative renewable energy sources, is costly due to nutrient media. Industrial and domestic wastewater contains nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients that are the primary food source for algae. Releasing this environmentally harmful effluent into receiving bodies of water, such as the sea or a freshwater reservoir, without prior treatment causes serious problems. Combining microalgae cultivation with wastewater treatment is a promising strategy for improving wastewater and reducing the cost of nutrient media required for algae production. In this study, wastewater obtained from a wastewater treatment facility was diluted with clean water to 0.25%, 50%, and 75% concentrations, and Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus were cultured in these nutrient media for 20 days. As a result, microalgae increased their biomass and lipid content, while consuming nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and ammonium from the wastewater as nutrients.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2017Scopus SJRQ2Antioxidant Response in Duckweed After Exposure to Secondary Effluent from Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant, Elazığ, Turkey
Tatar, Sule Yuksel; Obek, Erdal; Cikcikoglu Yildirim, Nuran
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the effluent of Elazig Municipality Wastewater Treatment Plant on the oxidative defense capacity of aquatic plants (Lemna minor L. and Lemna gibba L.). For this purpose, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), vitamin A (retinol), vitamin E (α-tocopherol), and vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) levels were determined by the HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) in the control groups and the groups adapting to reactors fed with discharge water. The depletion of vitamins (A, E, and C), decrease of GSH/GSSG ratio, and increase of MDA that reflect a precarious state of the cell in L. minor L. and L. gibba L. were observed after exposure to wastewater. It can be suggested that the selected biomarkers are useful in understanding the biochemical mechanisms of the secondary effluents from wastewater treatment plant in L. minor L. and L. gibba L. as early warning indicators.

Wastewater generated daily in urban localities could provide nourishment to algae for potential production of biofuel and biochemicals. This study presents an integrated approach to the use of Spirulina platensis cultures for the treatment of domestic wastewater and lipid extraction. In this experimental approach, wastewater subjected only to the primary settling process was used as nutrient media at different concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% wastewater diluted with distilled water, and Spirulina platensis was cultured in these mediums for 20 days. The inoculated medium was incubated at 30 degrees C in the presence of light (42 mu mol photon m(-2).s(-1)) by using light/dark cycle of 12 hours. S. platensis consumed nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and ammonium from wastewater, and it increased its biomass and its lipid amount. Although the highest biomass increase was observed at the wastewater medium without dilution (100% wastewater) (the control group was not included), the highest lipid production was found in 25% wastewater. On the other hand, the percent reduction in the level of nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and ammonium in 75% wastewater medium was 91%, 99%, 99% and 99%, respectively. Despite the low lipid content, since Spirulina platensis can live in harsh conditions and increase its biomass rapidly, they can be easily cultivated in wastewater. Therefore, their use in wastewater for biodiesel production was found appropriate. The resulting algae biomass after oil extraction can be also used in different industrial sectors.
