There are various paper on microalgal cultivation in wastewater which has studied application of various growth model such as Gompertz, monad, logistic etc and first order kinetic equation to study microalgal growth and nutrient recovery from wastewater
There are numerous approaches to describe microalgal growth. One of them is to apply chemical kinetics methodology to this process. Chemical kinetics is well developed area. It's not only the first order reaction rate. Having a right model, you can better understand what is going in your system
This is a complex process, so you must consider an element that is essential and effective on the growth of algae in a liquid environment and calculate its amount per unit of liquid volume (or artificially prepare a concentration of it per unit of liquid volume). and provide the rest of the necessary elements for the growth of algae in the environment, then put a certain amount of weight of algae in the prepared environment and start the experiment over time, at least during two days (48 hours) by taking samples from the environment at intervals and Continuously measure the amount of the main element with one of the common techniques. A decrease in the amount of an element in the environment indicates its absorption by the algae, and express the necessary formulation in the format of the results.
