Algal Biotechnology for Fuel Applications gives the reader a comprehensive picture of the industrial use of algae for generating power. This book informs readers about the existence of alternative species to the currently used algae species for biofuel production, while also explaining the methods and current concepts in sustainable biofuel production.
Key Features
- Fifteen chapters covering topics on commercial algae species and algal biofuel production.
- Covers anaerobic biotechnology and basic biofuel production from thermal liquefaction
- Covers biodiesel production and algal biofuel characterization
- Introduces the reader to applied microbial fuel cell technology and algae cultivation methods
- Provides concepts about ecological engineering
- Covers microalgae culture and biofuel production techniques
- Explains the importance of catalysts
- Explains the economic evaluation of algae fuel production technology
This reference is essential reading for students and academics involved in environmental science, biotechnology, chemical engineering and sustainability education programs. It also serves as a reference for general readers who want to understand the ins and outs of algal biofuel technology.
Audience
Students and academics involved in environmental science, biotechnology, chemical engineering and sustainability education programs; general readers who want to learn about algal biofuel technology.
About the editor:
Hüseyin Karaca graduated as a chemical engineer from Ankara University of Turkey in 1990. He earned his MSc degree from Inonu University in 1993. He was awarded a PhD degree in chemical engineering from Ankara University in 1998. During this period, he worked as a research assistant in Inonu University. He has 32 international articles, 67 national and international papers and 22 national projects. He is currently working as a professor in the department of chemical engineering at Inonu University. His research interests are coal science and technology, liquefaction, energy technologies, biomass and kinetics.
Cemil Koyunoğlu started his academic life with his teacher, professor doctor Hüseyin Karaca. He made presentations and papers at many international energy congresses on coal liquefaction. Later, as soon as he graduated, he joined İnönü-Pal internationally accredited fuel laboratory as a founder between 2007-2010. Cemil Koyunoğlu, who took his first staff in the Department of Energy Systems Engineering at Yalova University, completed the Istanbul Technical University Energy Institute doctorate program, in which he won in the same years, in 2021 with Professor Doctor Ahmet Arisoy on increasing the efficiency of coal combustion with a model. He continues in Yalova, where he returned to his energy efficiency studies with his own “cml” equation and “C” constant.
