Phycology-Based Approaches for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery [Paperback]

1. Biotechnological advances for utilization of algae, microalgae, and cyanobacteria for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. 2. Wastewater utilization as growth medium for seaweed, microalgae and cyanobacteria, defined as potential source of human and animal services. 3. Identification, Cultivation and Potential Utilization of Micro-algae in Domestic Wastewater Treatment. 4. Phyco-remediation: A Promising Solution for Heavy Metal Contaminants in Industrial Effluents. 5. Microalgae mediated elimination of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. 6. The application of microalgae for bioremediation of pharmaceuticals from wastewater: recent trend and possibilities. 7. Green Nanotechnology: A microalgal approach to remove heavy metals from wastewater. 8. Valued products from algae grown in wastewater. 9. Seaweeds used in wastewater treatment: Steps to Industrial commercialization. 10. Recent insights of algal based bioremediation and energy production for environmental sustainability.This volume highlights advanced algal based technologies for wastewater treatment alongwith the opportunities that the existing technologies can provide at industrial scale. It further discusses algal based approaches for removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants from sewage and industrial effluents and in-depth analysis on related modalities.

Prof. Pradeep Verma

Prof. Verma completed his PhD from Sardar Patel University Gujarat, India in 2002. In the same year he was selected as UNESCO fellow and joined Czech Academy of Sciences Prague, Czech Republic. He later moved to Charles University, Prague to work as Post Doctoral Fellow. In 2004 he joined as a visiting scientist at UFZ Centre for Environmental Research, Halle, Germany. He was awarded a DFG fellowship which provided him another opportunity to work as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Gottingen University, Germany. He moved to India in 2007 where he joined Reliance Life Sciences, Mumbai and workelÓ!
