Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities: Bioremediation, Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts

Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities: Bioremediation, Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts introduces the concept of using a number of plants including algae and aquatic macrophytes that have the natural ability to remediate pollutants from water. This provides scientists with a green, economical and successful option when tackling the increasing rise of pollution in water. The chapters cover a wide range of areas, including bioremediation, biomass, biofuels and bioproducts during remediation of polluted water systems. The book draws together research from eminent scientists from across the globe, benefitted by their established expertise in phytoremediation of polluted water. Case studies are included, making the research accessible and relevant to any scientist working on a similar area. Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities: Bioremediation, Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts is aimed at researchers, students and scientists, stakeholders, policy makers, and environmentalists to understand and perform their research with greater ease. Currently, there is no book available that covers such a broad spectrum of algae and aquatic macrophytes based phytoremediation. Presents multiple case studies from global perspectives Focuses on Bioremediation, Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts for water pollution- a new approach Provides basic knowledge on how to design, grow and use the algae and aquatic macrophytes INDICE: Section I.
