Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic compounds in the marine environment are often chemically stable and resistant to the toxic effects of these compounds can be carcinogenic properties and genetic changes noted. The study of Microalgae Tetraselmis sp for the removal of aromatic compounds benzo[a]pyrene and chrysene ring of the effluent was Bandar Imam Petrochemical . Cultivation of Microalgae in order to achieve the desired number , petrochemical wastewater samples were subjected Microalgae . The reduction in the concentration of aromatic compounds by Microalgae were measured by HPLC showed that the removal of the two compounds at a concentration of benzo[a]pyrene./5 mg L, 49/6% ± 1.8 and the concentration chrysene 5/55 mg L,33/23% ± 1.2 respectively have been . The results showed that species have the ability to reduce aromatic compounds and is also suitable for petrochemical wastewater.
