Elsevier Algal Biorefinery: A Sustainable Solution for Environmental Applications

Algal Biorefinery: A Sustainable Solution for Environmental Applications focuses on algae's possibilities, assets, and functions as a renewable and sustainable resource that can act as an excellent alternative to withstand adverse environmental conditions to generate useful products. Thus, apart from helping reduce environmental pollution and the carbon footprint, algae can help mitigate factors causing rapid climate change via concurrent bioremediation, resource recovery, and environmental sustainability. This comprehensive book will examine dedicated state-of-the-art information on the topic of how algae can act as a cushion against climate change. It will also explain how algal-based biorefineries can act as a potential solution to climate change, lack of natural resources, and environmental pollution Elucidates algal biorefinery as a sustainable solution for carbon emission reduction and fossil fuels alternatives. Offers up-to-date information on algal-based wastewater treatment and resource recovery to assist in climate change. Provides flowcharts, schematic diagrams, and figures showing mechanisms and processes for the depiction of strategies for algal-based technologies. Examines the environmental impact assessment of existing and developing algal-based technologies for future environmental sustainability.
