I am interested in the composition of wastewater resulting from the extraction of alginate from algae. Can you give me some suggestions? Thank you!

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques followed by mass spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), etc. to get the profile of the compounds present in the waste water.
The water should mostly contain several kinds of sugar so chromatography will help with the analysis. Also, it would be very useful to know what kind of solvents were used in the extraction (phenol, ethanol, etc.). NMR might help in identifying these solvents if the concentrations are high enough. I saw sulfate was also presented from the studies. In addition, knowing the kind of brown algae used in the extraction would be a surplus.
