Bio-treatment of anaerobically treated swine wastewater (ADSW) mediated by microalgae has been deemed as a promising strategy. In the present study, six microalgal strains were used to conduct batch experiments in 0~100% ADSW in order to evaluate their potentials for nutrient removal and biodiesel production. Two strains, Chlorella vulgaris FACHB-8 and Chlorella sp. FACHB-31, were selected based on their better growth performances, higher tolerance to wastewater (up to 100%), and better nutrient removal abilities. The capacity of each strain to remove TN, TP, NH4+-N, as well as lipid production and biomass composition in 100% ADSW were further examined. After 15 days of culture, 87.68~89.85%, 92.61~93.68%, and 97.02~97.86% of the nitrogen, phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen were removed by Chlorella sp. FACHB-31 and C. vulgaris FACHB-8. Their lipid content and lipid productivities were 29.63~33.33% and 18.91~23.10 mg L−1 d−1, respectively. Proteins were both the major biomass fraction followed by lipids and then carbohydrates. Their fatty acid profiles both mainly consisted of C-16:0, C-18:1, C-18:0, and C-18:2. Taken together, our results suggest that C. vulgaris FACHB-8 and Chlorella sp. FACHB-31 are potential candidates for biodiesel production by using ADSW as a good feedstock.

The growth, lipid accumulation and nutrient removal characteristics of an oleaginous microalga Chlorella sp. HQ in two types of secondary effluents (named as X and Q) before/after sterilization were evaluated. The results show that the algal growth rates under sterilization were higher than those under non-sterilization. However, sterilization caused a significant decrease in algal lipid and triacylglycerol (TAG) contents in both X and Q. And the lipid and TAG yields in non-sterile X were as much as 2.7 and 7.7 times higher than those in sterile X, reaching up to 51.3 and 16.1 mg L−1, respectively. However, the sterilization caused algal biomass increase in sample Q. Sterilization or not had almost no effect on the total phosphorus (TP) removal ability of Chlorella sp. HQ and it was found to have similar abilities to remove almost 100.0% TP from samples X and Q. While the total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiencies were promoted slightly under non-sterilization, increasing from 88.5 to 89.7% in X and from 13.3 to 17.2% in Q. Hence, non-sterile circumstances are basically beneficial for Chlorella sp. HQ to accumulate its lipid (TAGs) and remove nutrients from wastewater.
