Enhancement of algae ponds for rural domestic sewage treatment by prolonging daylight using artificial lamps

Algal ponds (APs) are widely used as treatment facilities for domestic sewage in sparsely populated rural areas. However, few AP studies have focused on daylight length to enhance pollutants removal. In this study, four algae ponds were set up, daylight was prolonged by 0, 2, 4, and 6 h with an illu...
