dc.description.abstractNutrient removal from wastewater reduces the environmental impact of its discharge and provides opportunity for water reclamation. Algae can accomplish simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal while also adding value to the wastewater treatment process through resource recovery. The application of algae to wastewater treatment has been limited by a low rate of nutrient removal and difficulty in recovering the algal biomass. Immobilising the algal cells can aid in overcoming both these issues and so improve the feasibility of algal wastewater treatment. Trends for nutrient removal by algal systems over different wastewater characteristics and physical conditions are reviewed. The impact that the selection of algal species and immobilisation has on simultaneous nutrient removal as well as the interdependence of nitrogen and phosphorus are established. Understanding these behaviours will allow the performance of algal wastewater treatment systems to be predicted, assist in their optimisation, and help to identify directions for future research.en_UK
