Algae That Cleans Water and Makes Feed | Chicago News
Description
New research reveals that Chlorella vulgaris algae can remove over 90% of nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater—key drivers of harmful algal blooms. Scientists are fine-tuning conditions like pH and light to maximize efficiency for large-scale use, turning pollution cleanup into a sustainable, cost-effective process. Bonus? The harvested algae is rich in protein and could become animal feed or biofuel—making this a powerful, nature-based win-win for water quality and resource recovery.
