Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors investigated a novel approach for biological desalination of major anion in the seawater using three microalgal species based on kinetic modeling.
- The title should be revised for clarity. For instance "Kinetic studies modeling" should be written as "kinetic modeling"
- There is inappropriate use of punctuation marks in the abstract. For instance, in line 5, there should not be a comma (,) after water re-use.
- The authors needs to improve on the introduction. There are several language and syntax errors that makes it difficult to comprehend.
- The novelty of the study should be stressed in the introduction.
- The discussion should be critically discussed with reference to literature.
- The whole manuscript should be thoroughly revised for language error.
