Although groundwater is more reliable and clean water resource
when it is used as a drinking water, it is difficult to treat once it is
polluted. One of the most important pollution paremeters in groundwater is
nitrate which might be discharged by domestic or industrial wastes,
agricultural activities, fertilizers and animal wastes. Even though
denitrification, ion exchange, reverse osmos are widely used treatment methods
for nitrate removal, biological treatment methods have effectively been also
used. Nitrate removal from groundwater by microalgae is used as an alternative
method in biological treatment methods. On the other hand, there are some
topics which need to be investigated about chemical compositon of groundwater
and microalgae growth.

Yeraltı suyunda alg kültürleri ile nitrat kirliliğinin giderimi
İçme suyu kaynağı olarak kullanılan
yeraltı suları diğer su kaynaklarına göre daha güvenilir ve temiz olmasına
karşın, kirlenmesi durumunda arıtılması oldukça güçtür. Yeraltı suyunun önemli
kirlilik parametrelerinden biri olan nitrat, yeraltı suyuna evsel ve
endüstriyel atıklar, tarımsal faaliyetler, gübreler ve hayvan atıkları ile
ulaşmaktadır. Nitrat kirliliğinin gideriminde denitrifikasyon, iyon değiştirme,
ters ozmoz gibi yöntemler kullanılsa da biyolojik arıtma yöntemleri etkin
şekilde kullanılmaya devam etmektedir. Yeraltı sularından nitrat kirliliğinin
gideriminde biyolojik yöntemler arasında mikroalgler alternatif bir yöntem
olarak kullanılmaktadır. Buna karşın, yeraltı sularının kimyasal bileşimi ve
mikroalglerin büyütülmesi ile ilgili araştırılması gereken birçok konu
bulunmaktadır.
