Therefore, this research article aims to phytoremediate a textile waste effluent generated from Kafr Eldwar Dying Textile Industry, local textile dying industry, near Alexandria-Egypt.
The present study was designed to identify microalgae strains present in the waste effluent. In addition, the ability
of the dominant algal strain, Chlorella vulgaris was evaluated as an efficient phytoremediator to decolorize, detoxify and degrade this effluent.
This work addresses the adaptation of the microalgae C. vulgaris in a textile waste effluent and studies the ideal wastewater dilution as well as sodium bicarbonate concentration for the maximum reduction of colour and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD).
