Description Globally, herbal pharmaceutical industries are among
the leading pharmaceutical industries. They generate
large volume of wastewater during processing and
production, which is highly biodegradable in nature
and cannot be discharged into environment as such.
Hence efforts are being made to evaluate the toxicity
of herbal pharmaceutical effluents using green algae
Scenedesmus quadricauda. Physico-chemically treated
effluents (PCTEs) as well as biologically treated effluents
(BTEs) were observed after the application of
S. quadricauda. Also, S. quadricauda showed higher
growth rate after the addition of PCTE and BTE. The
highest yield of algae was observed in BTE up to 15
days of incubation by synthesis of chlorophyll and cell
metabolites, even with 10–100% dilution of effluents.
The present study also discusses the evaluation of biotoxicity
and recycling on herbal pharmaceutical
wastewater along with heavy metal removal
