Sustainable Industrial Processes based on Microalgae addresses the current applications and potential uses of microalgae for processing waste and wastewater streams, along with potential applications of the produced biomass. Each chapter explores the different steps of the subject, from the importance of selecting a robust strain that is able to adapt to harsh and changing environmental conditions, to production and harvesting technologies, and end applications of the produce biomass, namely agriculture and feed production. It covers microalgae biology, common microalgal strains used for waste and wastewater treatment, cultivation strategies, novel extraction techniques, safety issues, and current market opportunities and challenges.
Moreover, the book explores the potential utilization of the produced biomass focusing on industries that show higher potential such as agriculture and feed production.
- Gives insights in sustainable, energy sufficient and economically-viable microalgae-based processes
- Applies microalgal biomass to produce high value biopesticides, bio-stimulants and animal feeds/feed ingredients
- Discusses current challenges such as the need for large surface areas and provides suggestions to overcome these challenges

About the Author
Tomás Lafarga: Following on from his Master in Chemical Engineering, degree specialization in Biotechnology and Food Science at the University of Almeria in Spain, Tomás Lafarga was awarded with a Teagasc Walsh Fellowship and completed a PhD in Agriculture and Food Science at University College Dublin, one of the leading research-intensive European universities and Teagasc, the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority. Dr Lafarga has over 90 publications on varied aspects of food sustainability and waste management published in high impact factor journals and books and book chapters and over 50 contributions to national and international conferences. He has received several professional scholarships and awards including Juan de la Cierva and Ramón y Cajal fellowships awarded by the Spanish Gobernment and a Wang Shang Fellowship awarded by the International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods on recognition for his outstanding performance in graduate studies and research on nutraceuticals and functional foods. After his PhD, Dr Lafarga worked as a Scientific Researcher in the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) in Lleida and the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Almería in Spain. His research lines include the development of novel safe, high-quality, and healthy foods using non-thermal and environmentally-friendly technologies and the revalorization of waste and food co-products to obtain novel ingredients and reduce the environmental impact of food processing. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Food Science and Technology and a scientific member of SOLABIAA and RENUWAL. Dr Lafarga co-edited the book “Cultured Microalgae for the food industry.
Francisco Gabriel Acién-Fernández: Dr Acién-Fernández successfully completed his Doctoral Thesis at the University of Almería in 1996. He is since 1999 a Full Professor at the Department of Engineering of the University of Almeria and instructs in Chemistry, Industrial Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, and Agricultural Engineering. Over the last decade, Prof Acién-Fernández has collaborated as a Lecturer at the Universities of Seville and Malaga, both in Spain, and was invited to instruct in numerous specialized courses at prestigious Universities including the Universities of Wageningen, Milan, Xalapa, and Medellin among others. He has also supervised more than 35 Bachelor and Master Projects and directed over 10 Ph.D. Theses. Over the past 20 years, Prof Acién-Fernandez has collaborated with leading groups in the field of microalgae cultivation for biofuel and food applications as well as microalgae-based wastewater treatment. His research lines include the optimization of microalgae cultivation strategies, revalorization of wastewater and food processing co-products, and production of high value-added compounds for food and nutraceutical applications. He has been actively involved as a collaborator, principal investigator, or coordinator in over 30 national and international research projects. Prof Acién published over 200 publications in high impact factor journals and co-authored more than 20 books or book chapters dealing with microalgae biomass cultivation. His research has been presented in over 100 national and international conferences and he is a Member of the Executive Board of prestigious international societies and associations including the International Society for Applied Phycology and the European Algae Biomass Association. He is a member of the Editorial Board of Algal Research and co-edited the book “Cultured Microalgae for the food industry
