N2 - Water treatment methods have been changing and improving over the years in order to meet the demands of the population and the care of the environment, using a viable and low-cost technology. The objective of this research was to evaluate the use of algae for the removal of organic matter (OM) from domestic effluents by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis. The research had a quantitative approach, applied type, non-experimental design (documentary review) and descriptive-explanatory level. The Scopus and Web of science databases were used for the information search, taking the period from January 2011 to September 2021. The results of the meta-analysis showed low statistical heterogeneity (l2 = 12%) and that the application of algae for MO removal from domestic effluents showed higher efficiency at high initial concentrations. It was also observed that algae achieve 100% removal of OM. Finally, it is concluded that the use of algae is efficient in removing OM and represents a viable alternative to improve water quality.
