Increasing population and industrialization are the key pollutant
contributors in water bodies. The wastes generated by industries
are highly hazardous for humans and the ecosystem and require a
comprehensive and effective treatment before being discharged into
water bodies. Over the years, many up gradations have been
introduced in traditional water treatment methods which were
expensive and ineffective especially for removal of toxic
pollutants. Phycoremediation has been gaining attention due to its
mutual benefit in wastewater treatment and for valuable algae
biomass production. Wastewater, especially sewage and industrial
effluents, is rich in pathogenic organisms, organic and inorganic
compounds and heavy metals that adversely affect human and aquatic
life. Microalgae use these inorganic compounds and heavy metals for
their growth. In addition, they also reduce pathogenic organisms
and release oxygen to be used by bacteria for decomposition of
organic compounds in a secondary treatment. In this book, the
potential of microalgae in wastewater treatment, their benefits,
strategies, and challenges are discussed. The increasing need of
finding innovative, low-cost, low-energy, sustainable and
eco-friendly solutions for wastewater treatment makes the
publication of a book on phycoremediation timely and appropriate.
Features: (1) Deals with the most emerging aspects of algal
research with special reference to phycoremediation. (2) Studies in
depth diversity, mutations, genomics and metagenomics study (3) An
eco-physiology, culturing, microalgae for food and feed, biofuel
production, harvesting of microalgae, separation and purification
of biochemicals.
