Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around Harnessing Microalgae: Transforming Wastewater into Valuable Pigments Innovative solutions are constantly sought to address the challenges of wastewater treatment and the increasing demand for sustainable products. One promising approach involves utilizing microalgae in a biorefinery system that not only cleans wastewater but also extracts valuable pigments from the biomass. This concept presents
