Algal Biotechnology

This two-volume set gives out interdisciplinary expression at present-day practical challenges and recent developments in algal biotechnology with a focus on algal issues and its pertinent applications. It covers algae and the environment, algal-omics, bioremediation using algae, algal biorefinery and industrial trends, algae-based technology to treat industrial effluents and large-scale cultivation for algal bioprocesses. It explains algal biomass as a potential source of biofuel, biofertilizer, bioactive compounds and phytochemicals.

Features:

• Focusses on algae-based membrane integrated technologies for the treatment of industrial effluents and wastewater.
• Covers algal biomass recovery, biofuel and phyco-remediation based wastewater management.
• Explains bioplastics, aquafeed, biofertilizer and algal metabolites.
• Explores recovery and reuse of heavy metal from wastewater.
• Reviews constraints and challenges in large scale algal cultivation.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biotechnology, bioenergy, renewable energy, energy, fuel and petrochemicals, waste water, novel technologies, clean technologies, bioremediation environmental, functional foods and nutraceuticals, marine and aquatic science.
