Abstract
In the current article, we will highlight on the role of algae in the treatment of wastewater. Algae cultures are an interesting solution to tertiary and quandary treatments because of their capacity to use inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus for their growth and to remove heavy metals, as well as some toxic organic compounds, thus, avoiding a secondary pollution. Our experiments were conducted using Chlorella algae for removing lead ions from wastewater. The wastewater treatment efficiency reached a maximum of 86.67% after 80 minutes.
