  • Process of treating buchu mercaptan production wastewater using microalgae and chitin as a nitrogen source
    Patent number: 10173913
    Abstract: A process of growing a culture of cyanobacteria or algae using chitin or chitosan as a source of nitrogen for photosynthetic growth is described. This process can be used to remove pollutants from nitrogen-deficient natural waters or wastewaters including buchu mercaptan production wastewater. Biomass that results from photosynthetic growth on chitin can be used, either as whole cells or the isolated components of the cells, for a large variety of commercial purposes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 1, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 8, 2019
    Inventors: Carrine Blank, Nancy W. Hinman
