In recent years, microalgae have been used to polish Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) from the conventional ponding treatment system. The substantial amount of inorganic nutrient and trace metal in POME is believed to encourage the growth of microalgae. The present research studied the kinetic of micro...
