Owing to their vast diversity and high growth rate, microalgae offer numerous advantages as the most promising photosynthetic organisms for biofuel production and CO2 bio-sequestration. Two different processes have been proposed for these purposes: microalgal farming and ocean fertilization. This bo

โฆ Synopsis
Water is the driving force of all nature. This old quote from Leonardo da Vinci reminds us that without water life is simply not possible. As a consequence, water is probably the most important wealth for humanity. In spite of this, drinking water is still polluted by man-made toxicals gathered by waters in soils and the atmosphere. This book presents advanced methods to clean water and air. Chapters also focus on biofuels, greenhouse gases and genetically modified crops.
