Algal Biomass Technology and Research

This new two-volume work describes the advances and emerging issues in the use of algal biomass and the prospects of micro- and macroalgae in biotechnology, microbiology, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, biochemical engineering, and systems biology for the creation of algal cell factories. The books cover a broad spectrum of algal biomass technology for value-added products and for the recycling of environmental pollutants.Volume 2 focuses on sustainable biorefinery methods based on algae for the treatment of wastewater, for desalination, for bioenergy production, for lignocellulosic waste biomass utilization, and for environmental bioremediation. It also covers the connections between traditional and cutting-edge technologies, emphasizing the production of all types of algal biomass (including macro- and microalgae), with a focus on the bioengineering component. This volume places emphasis on two key areas: engineering implications and biological sciences implications.Volume 1 explores the impact of process parameters and phytohormones to improve algal biomass generation in various industries, providing consideration of the engineering, biological design, and applications of algal biomass along with relevant implementations.
