A sustainable biological treatment of landfill leachate for nutrients recycling and biohydrogen production
Aim: Waste management and useful products from microalgae.
Methods:
- Cultivation of microalgae in a hybrid photobioreactor with landfill leachate and mixtures of landfill leachate and other waste streams (from dairy).
- Dark fermentation of harvested microalgal biomass for bioH2 production
- Thermodynamic and biological numerical models, validated with experimental data, for microalgae cultivation and dark fermentation.
