An Integration of Phycoremediation Processes in Wastewater Treatment

An Integration of Phycoremediation Processes in Wastewater Treatment reviews the potential of microalgae to treat wastewater containing highly recalcitrant compounds whose degradation is not achieved by the conventional existing treatments. In addition, the microalgae collected after wastewater treatment can be used for obtaining added-value products, thereby, closing the loop and contributing to a circular economy. In addition, the technoeconomical aspects of this green technology are addressed. The design and development of photobioreactors are also highlighted. Additionally, genetic aspects, metagenomics and metabolomics are considered. Deals with the most emerging aspects of algal research with special reference to phycoremediationStudies in depth diversity, mutations, genomics and metagenomics, eco-physiology, culturing, microalgae for food and feed, biofuel production, harvesting of microalgae, separation and purification of biochemicalsDescribes the techno-economical assessment, microalgal biotechnology and algal-bacterial systems for wastewater treatmentDescribes the complex issues associated with the above-mentioned areas with the intervention of cutting-edge biotechnological tools and techniques like next-generation sequencing methods, metabolomics and bioreactor design and development INDICE: 1.
