Advances in Sustainable Applications of Microalgae Woodhead Advances in Pollution Research Series

Langue : Anglais
Couverture de l’ouvrage Advances in Sustainable Applications of Microalgae

Advances in Sustainable Applications of Microalgae discusses different mechanisms used by microalgae to treat various gaseous streams, wastewaters, addresses pollution bioremediation. In addition, the advantages of the application of microalgal biomass in the agricultural and food/feed sectors are presented and bioenergy from microalgae with a view to sustainability is explored. The present book is divided into 5 parts regarding the use of microalgal cultures in various applications, such as: the treatment of gaseous streams by removing various contaminants, wastewater treatment through the removal of several pollutants, biomass valorization for agriculture purposes, bioenergy from microalgae, and industrial integration of all these processes in a biorefinery concept. Advances in Sustainable Applications of Microalgae in Engineering emphasizes the importance of gathering scientific knowledge to overcome drawbacks related with microalgal production and develop the concept of biorefinery based on microalgal biomass for a more sustainable future.

Dr. José Carlos Magalhães Pires is an Assistant Researcher at the University of Porto, Portugal. He obtained his PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Porto and brings more than 18 years of teaching and research experience in environmental sciences and process systems engineering. His research is focused on biomass production, sustainable macro- and microalgal cultivation practices, and applications of microalgae in water treatment and bioenergy. He has led the development of 7 books, including Elsevier’s Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage and Advances in Sustainable Applications of Microalgae (in development).
AF Esteves graduated in Environmental Engineering, by FEUP in 2019. AF Esteves is currently a PhD student in Environmental Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal. The PhD, entitled Light optimisation on microalgae cultivation and production of high-value products: from laboratory to pilot scale, aimed the intensification of microalgal biomass production and the content in high-value products, optimising the light supply. Her work also includes the application of stress conditions to infer about its effect on biochemical composition of the biomass. She published 7 papers in international peer-reviewed journals (3 as first author), 4 book chapters and her research work was discussed in 3 international meetings and in 3 national meetings.
