Applications for Industrial Development and Human Welfare

About this book

This book deals with an interdisciplinary approach towards present-day practical challenges and recent developments in algal biotechnology and covers a broad spectrum of issues ranging from diverse algae and its applications in agriculture, human food, animal feed, wastewater treatment, and industry to algal metabolites. Major themes covered in this volume include algae-based processes for the treatment of industrial effluents, algal biorefinery, industrial trends, and applications of algae in food, feed, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.

Features:

  • Explores the possibility of utilization of algae in human food and pharmaceutical compounds.
  • Presents recent state of the art of design and tools in algal biorefineries.
  • Reviews concepts of membrane bioreactors and microbial fuel cells, including their process and performance.
  • Algae-based technologies for safe and eco-friendly processes to promote a sustainable bio-economy.
  • Discusses algae as a source for potential aquafeed.

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