Biomass production of Scenedesmus obliquus from mixtures of urban and olive-oil mill wastewaters used as culture medium

The mixture of olive-oil mill wastewater (OMW) and urban wastewater from secondary treatment (UWST) as culture medium was studied. Experiments were performed in a batch bioreactor on laboratory scale, using Scenedesmus obliquus CCAP 276/3A. In this sense, two experimental series were prepared. In the first, the culture medium was formed by 0%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10% (v/v) of OMW added to UWST. In the second, a constant proportion (5% v/v) of bleached...
