In recent years, the algal biorefinery is seen as a promising
alternative to fossil derived products that reduce the
environmental pollution, product costs and support circular
bioeconomy. However, the upstream algal cultivation and downstream
processing are the energy intensive processes and are considered as
bottlenecks in promoting algal biorefinery. Improving the biomass
productivity and bioproduct developments are still underway, while
a number of novel bioprocess and bio-reactor engineering
technologies were developed recently. Therefore, this book provides
extensive knowledge of microalgae refineries. This book is divided
into two volumes (Vol. I & Vol. II), which presents complete
coverage of microalgae refineries. Therefore, Vol. I offers
complete coverage of the algal bioproducts process, including
biotechnological applications and environmental effects of
microalgae cultivation. While Vol. II, provides various industrial
applications and future prospects of algal biorefinery for
sustainable development of circular bioeconomy. With contributions
from world experts, focuses on microalgae from an organism
perspective to deliver a complete picture from evolution to
bioproducts. The edited book provides a concise introduction to the
science, biology, technology, and application of algae. It covers
downstream and upstream steps of the algal refinery for the
production of algal biomass, which has several social benefits.
"Algae are mysterious and fascinating organisms that hold great
potential for discovery and biotechnology." -Dr. Thierry Tonon,
Department of Biology, University of York "Science is a beautiful
gift to humanity; we should not distort it." -A.P.J. Abdul Kalam In
this book, we emphasise the importance of algal biotechnology as a
sustainable platform to replace the conventional fossil-based
economy. With this focus, Volume 2 summarizes up-to-date literature
knowledge and discusses the advances in algal cultivation, genetic
improvement, wastewater treatment, resource recovery, commercial
operation, and technoeconomic analysis of algal biotechnology.
FEATURES Discusses in detail recent developments in algae
cultivation and biomass harvesting Provides an overview of genetic
engineering and algal-bacteria consortia to improve productivity
Presents applications of algae in the area of wastewater treatment
and resource recovery Provides case studies and technoeconomic
analysis to understand the algal biorefinery Shashi Kant Bhatia,

Chemistry, Umea University, Umea, Sweden. Obulisamy Parthiba
Karthikeyan, PhD, is a Research Scientist and Lecturer (Adjunct) in
the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, South Dakota
School of Mines and Technology, Rapid City, South Dakota, USA.
