Microalgae in Waste Water Remediation aims to point out trends and current topics concerning the use of microalgae in wastewater treatment and to identify potential paths for future research regarding microalgaebased bioremediation. To achieve this goal, the book also assessing and analyzes the topics that attract attention among the scientific community and their evolution through time. This book will be useful to the students, scientists and policy makers concerned with the microalgae mediated management of wastewater effluents and its applications in overall future sustainable development.
"Kumar and Singh begin by examining microalgae origins, distribution, morphology, and nutritional needs. They subsequently examine their usefulness in remediating wastewater associated with several industry-specific waste streams. The various categories are presented in particular chapters examining, e.g., the impacts of temperature, salinity, and pH on each system. Chemical contaminants requiring remediation vary by wastewater stream category. In general, they include the widely recognized persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals, e.g., arsenic, cadmium, chromium, barium, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc. Discussions cover volatile organic compounds (VOCs), e.g., styrene, phenol, biphenyls, mercaptans, and ammonia-based products. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and turbidity are also described. Results of chemical analysis are summarized in well-labeled tables. Some figures are presented in color, and diagrams are well drawn and easy to understand."
