The pollution of water resources and energy production are major environmental challenges. Conventional methods for liquid waste treatment can effectively remove many pollutants, but can be costly, energy-intensive, and have limitations in removing certain emerging pollutants. Microalgae are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that can rapidly grow using nutrients and CO2 from liquid waste as an energy source. They can remove pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus, heavy metals, and organic compounds through various mechanisms and produce valuable bio-products such as biofuels, food additives, and high-value chemicals. The use of microalgae in liquid waste treatment has recently emerged as a potential sustainable solution that can overcome some of the limitations of conventional methods. This study aims to explore the potential use of microalgae for liquid waste treatment and the production of bioenergy and bio-products. The findings of this study can provide valuable knowledge on the use of microalgae in liquid waste treatment and contribute to the development of sustainable solutions for water pollution, renewable energy production, and the circular economy. Additionally, this study can serve as a basis for future research in the field, informing policymakers and stakeholders about the potential of microalgae-based technologies for bioenergy and bio-product production.
