Applications of Diatom for Treatment of Industrial Effluents: Waste to Wealth Approach
-
John Tsado Mathew
Abstract
The escalating global pollution crisis demands innovative and sustainable approaches for wastewater and industrial effluent treatment. Diatoms, unicellular microalgae renowned for their unique characteristics, have emerged as promising tools for phycoremediation. This review explores the potential of diatoms in remediating contaminated water sources. Diatoms excel in nutrient uptake, CO2 sequestration, and biomass production. Their intricate silica shells provide structural stability, making them resilient in diverse environmental conditions. Additionally, the ability of diatoms to synthesize bioactive compounds further enhances their application in pollutant removal. This review discusses recent advancements in diatom-based phycoremediation strategies, highlighting their eco-friendly and cost-effective nature. Harnessing diatoms for wastewater and industrial effluent treatment offers a sustainable solution for mitigating environmental degradation while concurrently producing valuable biomass for various industries.
