This book titled "Microfiltration: Principle, Process and Applications" is formed of 6 chapters covering many research aspects on microfiltration. These aspects include reviews and original research dealing mainly with fouling and cleaning of microfiltration membranes. In Chapter 1, mechanisms of fouling and factors affecting the fouling are presented. Also, it deals with techniques that assist mitigation of membrane fouling that occurs in microfiltration. The aim of Chapter 2 was the modelling and optimization by artificial neural network and genetic algorithm of yeast suspensions turbulence promoter assisted cross-flow microfiltration in concentration operation mode. Chapter 3 focuses on the principles, developments, implementation and application of microfiltration in wastewater treatment. In addition, the integration of microfiltration with other water and wastewater treatment technique is also included as well as the advantages and disadvantage of the microfiltration. The Chapter 4 objective is to introduce the most commonly used turbulence promoters' types. Furthermore, congenial studies on the turbulence promoters' application in the cross-flow MF regarding food industry streams and products are also presented within the chapter. In Chapter 5, the microfiltration process was used in order to obtain concentrated papaya (Carica papaya L.) pulp, evaluating the flux permeate from papaya treated pulp with enzyme pectinase and using different nominal mass molecular weights and different membranes materials. Chapter 6 discusses the performances and the quality of treated water of a Tunisian textile industry through a low-cost tubular ceramic membrane prepared by extrusion of a plastic paste prepared from clay powder mixed with organic additives and water.

In today's environmental and economic climate, it is important for businesses to drive development towards sustainable and zero-waste industries, responsibly leveraging renewable low-cost inputs to generate high-value outputs for the global market. Marine macroalgae presents modern businesses with opportunities for the development of a new and vibrant industry sector that largely fulfills these requirements. Harnessing Marine Macroalgae for Industrial Purposes in an Australian Context: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides emerging perspectives on the theoretical and practical aspects of developing a new business sector within the bio-marine industry. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as competitive advantage, food industry, and production systems, this publication is ideally designed for environmental researchers, business students, engineers, and academicians seeking current research on the economics, regulation, and policy in supporting the development of the macroalgal industry sector in the global market.
