Valorization of Microalgal Biomass and Wastewater Treatment

Valorisation of Microalgal Biomass and Wastewater Treatment provides tools, techniques, data and case studies to demonstrate the use of algal biomass in the production of valuable products like biofuels, food, and fertilizers, etc. Valorisation has several advantages over conventional bioremediation processes as it helps reduce the costs of bioprocesses. Examples of several successfully commercialized technologies have been provided throughout the book, giving insights into developing potential processes for valorisation of different biomasses. Wastewater treatment by microalgae generates the biomass, which could be utilized for developing various other products, such as fertilizers, and biofuels.

Valorisation of Microalgal Biomass and Wastewater Treatment will equip researchers and policymakers in the energy sector with the scientific methodology and metrics needed to develop strategies for a viable transition in the energy sector. It will be a key resource for students, researchers, and practitioners seeking to deepen their knowledge on energy planning, wastewater treatment, and current & future trends of biofuels.
