Abstract

Purification system has recently gained increasing importance, especially in water treatment systems. Biological water treatment systems with microalgae are now widely accepted. Moreover, algal wastewater treatment systems are effective when compared to conventional treatment systems. The proposed purification system aims to provide a process for using saline water, and saline reject water produced in water purification for gold mining production. Also, it provides a method for growing and harvesting algae utilizing saline water as growth medium for recycling waste water to extract the remaining metals from it. This trend of purification system using harvested algae has various applications, and may be used in wide aspects including, but not limited to, algae biomass production to extract metals, and reducing the cost of gold mining production.
