A Biorefinery Approach to Algal Biomass Conversation for Biofuels and Bioproducts presents a detailed overview of the processes and products of algal biomass within the concept of the circular economy. With a particular emphasis on biofuels, the book addresses the fundamentals and underlying concepts of biomass conversation processes, the equipment, and their advanced application for algal feedstocks. This includes the principles of biomass conversion processes, a complete profile of the generated biofuels, feed, food, and chemicals, the concept of integrated biorefinery based on micro and...

A novel multi-stage external loop airlift reactor (MS-ELALR) has been designed to remove phenol and Cr(VI) from wastewater by means of their adsorption onto the surface of activated carbons. The multi-staging has been achieved by hydrodynamically induced continuous bubble generation, breakup and regeneration. The typical values of gas holdup, liquid circulation velocity, interfacial area and volumetric mass transfer coefficient of the MS-ELALR were found to be 0.42-0.66, 0.04-0.13 m/s, 70-300 m2/m3 and 0.01-0.5 s-1 respectively. Powdered activated carbons were prepared from four different...

As India progresses fast in the 21st century, we also face daunting challenges of energy security and climate change. Tremendous development in various sectors like industry, agriculture, transport has resulted in huge rise in demand for energy. Fulfilling these demands through conventional fossil fuel based energy generation has given rise to significant emissions (both gaseous and liquids) that have caused pollution to atmosphere and aquatic eco-systems. Use of sustainable and green (or renewable) resources and technologies offers a viable and promising solutions to these issues. Last two...
