Environmental Phycology: Climate Change Mitigation and Hazardous Pollutant Cleanup Using Algal Resources

Explores micro- and macro-algae approaches for climate change mitigation and environmental cleanup, focusing on pollution management, biofuel production, waste treatment, and carbon sequestration, promoting sustainable environment and interdisciplinary solutions. The subject of environmental phycology is widely researched and is currently of high interest among algal and biotechnology researchers. This unique new book, Environmental Phycology: Climate Change Mitigation and Hazardous Pollutant Cleanup Using Algal Resource, explores the different approaches for the mitigation of climate change and environmental cleanup using micro- and macro-algae. It focuses on the management of environmental pollution using microalgae for creating a sustainable environment and for carbon sequestration. With chapters from experts in the fields of phycology, biotechnology, microbiology, environmental science and plant science, this volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to address the topics of biofuel production, waste treatment, algal remediation, carbon sequestration, and climate stabilization using algae and their biomass, encouraging the development of new tools and techniques for the mitigation of climate change and for pollution remediation. Researchers, professionals, and academicians in the fields of phycology, microbiology, environmental science, biotechnology, plant science and life science will find much of interest in this volume. This book will enable researchers in the field to understand the modern and advanced approaches in the applications of algae for mitigation of climate change and pollution remediation.
