Abstract
Algae are one of the major contributors to water pollution, as they can grow rapidly and consume large amounts of nutrients from the water, leading to eutrophication and depletion of dissolved oxygen. Therefore, the problem statement for this project is the need for an efficient and cost- effective method for the treatment of wastewater containing algae. The proposed use of Nano particles for wastewater treatment has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional treatment methods and provide a more effective and environmentally friendly alternative. However, further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this technology, and to optimize the dosage and application of Nano particles for maximum removal efficiency
