Overview

Review examines how extracellular polymeric substances enhance microalgal treatment of brewery wastewater, indicating a shift towards sustainable practices.

Key Points

  • This review focuses on the role of extracellular polymeric substances in improving microalgal treatment of brewery wastewater.
  • Critical review of existing literature on microalgal treatment methods for brewery wastewater.
  • Analysis of the functions of extracellular polymeric substances in pollutant removal and biomass harvesting.
  • Identification of technical and economic barriers to scaling up the process.
  • Microalgal extracellular polymeric substances enhance pollutant removal efficiency through biosorption.
  • Natural self-flocculation processes are facilitated by extracellular polymeric substances, promoting easier biomass harvesting.
  • The integration of these functions presents a strategy for circular resource utilization in wastewater treatment.
