Resumo(s): | The presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the environment has been recognized as a worldwide concern. In particular, water pollution by CECs is becoming a major global problem, which requires ongoing evaluation of water resources policies at all levels and the use of effective and innovative wastewaters treatment processes for their removal. Microalgae have been increasingly recognized as relevant for wastewater polishing, including CECs removal. These microorganisms are commonly cultivated in suspension. However, the use of planktonic microalgae for wastewater treatment has limitations in terms of microbiological contamination, process effectiveness and sustainability. The use of consortia of microalgae and bacteria represents a significant advance for sustainable wastewater polishing, particularly when the microorganisms are associated as biofilms. These immobilized mixed cultures can overcome the limitations of suspended-microalgae systems and improve the performance of the involved species for CECs removal. In addition, microalgae-bacteria based systems can offer a relevant combined effect for CECs removal and biomass production enhancement. This study reviews the advantages and advances on the use of microalgae for wastewater treatment, highlighting the potential on the use of microalgae-bacteria biofilms for CECs removal and the further biomass valorisation for third-generation biofuel production. |
