Searching for olive mill waste water (OMWW) solutions: is there a potential on microalgae treatment?
| Resumo: | Olive Mill Waste Water (OMWW) is the principal industry extraction residue of olive oil and still one of the most serious environmental problems. Toxicity of this effluent is mainly due to high levels of phenolic compounds and low pH, thus OMWW direct disposal may pollute both. land and aquatic environments (1). A variety of biological processes have been tested to reduce OMWW phenolic compounds. Several studies were carried out with different bacteria (2,3) yeasts (4 ,5) and fungi (6,7) but in general their effectiveness in reducing OMWW toxicity varies greatly. |
