Abstract: (408 Views)
Agricultural effluents contain nutrients such as phosphates, nitrates and ammonia, which cause surface and underground water pollution. By absorbing these nutrients, freshwater algae such as Spirulina can play an important role in reducing these types of pollutants. On the other hand, this type of wastewater, having nutrients, can be used as an alternative and cheap substrate for algae cultivation. Five concentrations of diluted sugarcane effluent (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) were prepared with Zarrouk’s medium and the growth rate, photosynthetic pigments, and the amount of some mineral substances, protein, and fat composition were evaluated. In high concentrations of wastewater (75 and 100% wastewater treatment), a very good growth of Spirulina was observed.The amount of chlorophyll a in the treatment of 100% of wastewater showed a significant increase compared to the control treatment (p < 0.05). The maximum amount of total carotenoids in the treatment of 50% of the Zarrouk’s medium was obtained at the rate of 1559 ± 226 mg/liter, which was more than 2 times the amount of total carotenoids in the control treatment. The maximum amount of total carotenoid in the treatment of 50% of Zarrouk’s medium was 1559 ± 226 mg/liter, which was more than 2 times the amount of total carotenoid in the control treatment.In addition, the produced algae can be used as livestock and aquatic food.
