ABSTRACT
The simultaneous use of microalgae for algal biomass generation and wastewater treatment
is a feasible strategy. Microalgae have long been recognized for their capacity to decompose organic
materials, remove nutrients, and absorb heavy metals. According to the present study’s experimental
results, the biomass of C.pyrenoidosa contains 49% carbon, 7.06% hydrogen, 7.8% nitrogen, 0.65%
sulfur, and 35.49% oxygen. There are three primary stages to the combustion of C. pyrenoidosa:
the first is the removal of moisture (4.87%), the second is the devolatilization of proteins, lipids,
and carbohydrates (57.13%), and the third is the degradation of carbonaceous materials (38%).
These results highlight the considerable potential of using C. pyrenoidosa biomass as a feedstock for
biofuel production.
