This book examines the utilization of algae for the development of
useful products and processes with the emphasis towards green
technologies and processes, and the requirements to make these
viable. Serving as a complete reference guide to the production of
biofuels and other value added products from micro and macro algae,
it covers various aspects of algal biotechnology from the basics to
large scale cultivation, harvesting and processing for a variety of
products. It is authored and edited by respected world experts in
the field of algal biotechnology and provides the most up to date
and cutting edge information on developments in the field. Over the
past decade there has been substantial focus and related literature
on the application of algal biomass for the generation of novel
processes and products. ‘Algae Biotechnology: Products and
Processes’ encompasses a holistic approach to critically evaluating
developments in the field of algal biotechnology whilst taking into
account recent advances and building on the body of knowledge.
Aspects of the effects of harmful algae are also discussed, as well
as the potential commercial application of algal biotechnology, the
techno-economic feasibility of algal biodiesel production and the
use of genetic and metabolic engineering for the improvement of
yield. Other bioenergy sources such as alcohol fuels, aviation
fuels, biohydrogen and biogas are also covered. This book is
intended for postgraduates and researchers working in the biofuels
and algal industry; it constitutes ideal reference material for
both early stage and established researchers.
