Sustainable Industrial Processes Based on Microalgae

About this book

Sustainable Industrial Processes based on Microalgae addresses the current applications and potential uses of microalgae for processing waste and wastewater streams, along with potential applications of the produced biomass. Each chapter explores the different steps of the subject, from the importance of selecting a robust strain that is able to adapt to harsh and changing environmental conditions, to production and harvesting technologies, and end applications of the produce biomass, namely agriculture and feed production. It covers microalgae biology, common microalgal strains used for waste and wastewater treatment, cultivation strategies, novel extraction techniques, safety issues, and current market opportunities and challenges. Moreover, the book explores the potential utilization of the produced biomass focusing on industries that show higher potential such as agriculture and feed production. - Gives insights in sustainable, energy sufficient and economically-viable microalgae-based processes - Applies microalgal biomass to produce high value biopesticides, bio-stimulants and animal feeds/feed ingredients - Discusses current challenges such as the need for large surface areas and provides suggestions to overcome these challenges
