Coupling of Algal Biofuel Production with Wastewater

Coupling of Algal Biofuel Production with Wastewater

Microalgae have gained enormous consideration from scientific community worldwide emerging as a viable feedstock for a renewable energy source virtually being carbon neutral, high lipid content, and comparatively more advantageous to other sources of biofuels. Although microalgae are seen as a valua...
