Design, construction and application of algae-bacteria synergistic system for treating wastewater.

The wastewater treatment technology of algae-bacteria synergistic system (ABSS) is a promising technology which has the advantages of low energy consumption, good treatment effect and recyclable high-value products. In this treatment technology, the construction of an ABSS is a very important factor. At the same time, the emergence of some new technologies (such as microbial fuel cells and bio-carriers, etc.) has further enriched constructing the novel ABSS, which could improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment and the biomass harvesting rate. Thus, this review focuses on the construction of a novel ABSS in wastewater treatment in order to provide useful suggestions for the technology of wastewater treatment.
