Abstract
Algal biomass has attracted a lot of attention as a sustainable and efficient technique for remediating a variety of environmental pollutants owing to its unique metabolic properties and environmental tolerance. The remediation potential of algal biomass for a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals, organic pollutants, nutrients, and new contaminants, are examined in this review. Through processes including bioaccumulation, biosorption, and biodegradation, algae show exceptional capacities to absorb, metabolize, and sequester contaminants, thereby mitigating environmental contamination in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Furthermore, significant developments in algal biotechnology and growing techniques have made it possible to produce biomass with higher productivity and can remove pollutants with greater efficiency. This has encouraged the use of algae in wastewater treatment, industrial effluent cleanup, and ecological restoration projects. Nevertheless, the integration of algal systems with the current wastewater treatment infrastructure offers hope for environmentally acceptable and reasonably priced solutions to the environmental pollution. Through this review, we have highlighted the crucial part that algal biomass plays in sustainable environmental stewardship and also the necessity for continued multidisciplinary research to fully realize its potential in addressing global environmental pollution concerns.
