Dye wastewater is one of the most difficult to remediate. The treatment of wastewater by biosorption is currently under active investigation. The use of microorganisms is evolving as an attractive, low-cost and green alternative to conventional treatment processes. Use of viable green algae for the treatment of textile wastewater is slowly and gradually making a mark in water treatment. This chapter deals with textile wastewater treatment using green algae. The mechanism involved in biosorption and the factors effecting and the parameters used for predicting the efficacy of the use of viable green algae are discussed.
