Nitrogen removal from swine wastewater using Chlorella vulgaris immobilized-cell
Keywords:
Swine wastewater, Microalgae immobilized-cell, Ammonia removalAbstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of nitrogen and organic matter removal from swine farm wastewater using immobilized microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). The C. vulgaris culture was grown in the laboratory for 11 days using the standard liquid medium Blue-Green Medium (BG-11) under a light intensity of 1,800 Lux. The experiment focused on assessing nitrogen removal efficiency using immobilized C. vulgaris cells entrapped with sodium alginate. The result indicated that the immobilized microalgae effectively removed nitrogen from swine farm wastewater. Initial concentrations of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in the 100% swine wastewater (SW) reactor were 440 mgN L-1, 0 mgN L-1, and 2.5 mgN L-1, respectively. In the 50% SW reactor, the initial concentrations of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate were 228 mgN L-1, 0 mgN L-1, and 1.3 mgN L-1, respectively. After 13 days of operation, both the 100% SW and 50% SW reactors achieved 100% ammonia removal efficiency.
