The authors of the research concluded that \u2018through ongoing research and development, we can expect advancements in microalgal cultivation techniques, strain selection, and system optimization, leading to improved efficiency and effectiveness in remediating desalination discharge.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Microalgae culture offers an affordable and green approach coupled with the production of high-value biomass positioning them as a favorable technique for sustainable management of desalination discharge. These microbes could assimilate various nutrients, metal contaminants, and organic toxicants from the brines, thereby mitigating the impact of brine. The production of brine still is one of the major problems of desalination.<\/p>\n<p>The Quatar study also asserts that microalgae cultivation is a sustainable and cost-effective approach for wastewater treatment plants (WWTP\u2019s) as microalgae have a great capacity to eradicate pollutants via several mechanisms. Furthermore, the paper states that the co-culturing of microalgae with other microorganisms enhances the efficacy of wastewater treatment plants.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waternewseurope.com\/desalination-algae-can-reduce-brine-pollution\/\">Water News Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-530\/\">Desalination research: Algae against brine pollution<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9679,14880,6131,575],"class_list":["post-131414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-algae","tag-brine","tag-desalination","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131414\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
