Full Description

The Handbook of Microalgae-Based Processes and Products: Fundamentals and Advances in Energy, Food, Feed, Fertilizer, and Bioactive Compounds, Second Edition is an essential resource for understanding commercial-scale microalgae production and utilization. Covering the fundamentals, processes, products, engineering approaches, and advancements in microalgae technology, this comprehensive guide explores microbiology, metabolic aspects, production systems, wastewater treatment, CO2 capture, and harvesting techniques. It provides detailed insights into biogas, biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, single-cell protein, biofertilizers, and many other microalgal products. Moreover, the book discusses the engineering tools applied to microalgae biotechnology, such as process integration, intensification, techno-economic analysis, biorefineries, and lifecycle assessment.

Finally, it addresses industrial applications and sustainable development, making it invaluable for researchers, students, and professionals in bioenergy, biomass, and high-value compounds. The holistic coverage of microalgae processes and products positions this handbook as a critical reference for engineering and bio-based industry planning.
