(Ebook) Integrated Wastewater Management and Valorization using Algal Cultures by Goksel N. Demirer, Sibel Uludag-Demirer, (eds.) ISBN 9780323858595, 0323858597

Algal cultures have been used for nutrient removal from wastewaters for a long time. However, the research on algal biotechnology has been accelerating recently since it can integrate several processes with environmental and economic benefits, such as CO2 sequestration via photosynthesis, nutrient removal and recovery from wastewaters, and production of valuable products such as biofuels, human food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, animal, and aquaculture feed and fertilizers.
This book revisits algal biotechnology and its potential contribution to sustainable wastewater management, resource efficiency, circular economy, and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the diverse group of 35 experts from 7 different countries and 16 institutions who shared their experience, work, and vision.
