Abstract: | A simple device for an efficient waste water treatment is described. The procedure uses a massive microalga culture as a source of OH‐, which increases the pH of the medium killing the bacterial population. In the device the alga culture remains separated from the waste water by a mesh of synthetic material or a ceramic permeable to OH‐. |
