Book Chapter Description

The realization that environmental pollution is a global hazard to human health and deterioration has sparked new initiatives for environmental restoration for economic and ecological reasons. Numerous contaminants, most notably colors, are present in textile industry wastewater (WW). If released without proper treatment, these pollutants can have detrimental consequences on aquatic environments, including harm to aesthetics, eutrophication, a reduction in photosynthetic activity, and bioaccumulation of toxins. A potentially effective substitute for current wastewater treatment (WWT) techniques is the cultivation of microalgae in textile dye effluent. Dye contaminants in WW are remedied during microalgae culture by bioconversion/biodegradation or biosorption. The dual advantages of microalgae cultivation using textile WW as a culture medium (bioremediation and CO 2 reduction) and microalgae lipid production make bioremediation of textile WW one of the most promising microalgae applications for biodiesel production. As a result, treatment with microalgae decreases the color and nutrient content of textile effluent, which lessens the detrimental effects of its release into the environment. In addition, using microalgae for bioremediation of textile WW has the added benefit of creating valuable biomass that may be converted into bioproducts, biofuels, and bioenergy, in contrast to traditional treatment techniques. So, the merger of bioremediation of WW with multiple biorefineries from microalgae will ensure economic sustainability, energy security, climate action, and circular economy.
