Summary:

The characteristics and bioavailability of wastewater derived "refractory" organic nutrients and their susceptibility to removal has drawn significant attention from both regulatory agencies and wastewater utilities.As suggested by recent studies, the bioavailability of effluent organic nutrients to algae is relatively high.
