Phycology-Based Approaches for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery

Algal and phycology-based approaches for the wastewater treatment has gained interest in recent times. This volume highlights advanced algal-based technologies developed or under consideration for the wastewater treatment along with the opportunities that the existing technologies can provide at an industrial scale. It aims to cover recent findings on algal-based approaches for removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants, etc., from sewage and industrial effluents and in-depth analysis on the technologies such as biosorption and bioaccumulations. Advanced mathematical modeling approaches to understand the waste removal and resource recovery from wastewater has been illustrated as well.

• Provides exhaustive information on the use of algae for the simultaneous treatment and resource recovery of wastewater.
• Discuses algae, microalgae, and cyanobacteria applications in-detail.
• Presents critical insight into limitations of the prevalent technologies.
• Reviews methodology of advanced technologies.
• Includes illustrations and interesting trivia boxes throughout the book.

This book is aimed at Researchers, Graduate students and Professionals in Phycology, Microbiology, Bioremediation, Environmental Sciences, Biotechnology, Wastewater Treatment, Resource Recovery, and Circular Economy.
