I found out that species of Cladophora, a green algae, has a great ability to remove arsenic in water. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using phycoremediators like this instead of other chemical and physical techniques like ion exchange, filtration, reverse osmosis, etc. in terms of ecological and economic impacts?
Dear Christine,
Phycoremediation is much cost-effective as it does not require procurement of huge equipments. Plants can be easily grown without much effort and can be monitored easily. But it is a slower process.

Dear Mohamed,
Thank you very much for the remark. I mean "Much cost-effective" In terms of profitability. Something that is cost-effective saves or makes a lot of money in comparison with the costs involved. I think we understand each other.
