Algae in Environmental and Sustainable Practices offers comprehensive knowledge on sustainable cultivation methods for algae and microalgae. It is designed to cover every aspect of algal sustainability, providing invaluable insights into achieving a more sustainable world to assist with pollution. Written and edited by a global team of experts in the field of phycology, this book emphasizes sustainable cultivation methods for culturing algae and microalgae in different medium sources like municipal, agricultural, and industrial wastewaters. Sustainable methods used in phytoremediation, harvesting, drying and the integrated upstream and downstream processing are described in order to create sustainable production, which is vital to understand how algal sustainability can be achieved.

Khoo, Kuan Shiong
ChM. Dr. Kuan Shiong Khoo is an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan. His research focuses on the upstream and downstream processing of bioactive compounds such as proteins, lipids and carotenoids (i.e. astaxanthin, lutein and fucoxanthin) as renewable energy from microalgae biomass using various extraction technologies such as liquid biphasic system, assisted-liquid biphasic system and ionic liquids technologies. His research interest also involves in microalgae-bacteria consortium for wastewater, heavy metal, and volatile organic compound bioremediation, algae-based biofuels, and bioplastics, incorporation of Internet-of-things (IoT) and machine learning. He has published over 200+ journal articles (90% are ranked in Q1 journals). For more information, please refer to the follow webpage: https://kuanshiongkhoo.com/
