Utilization Alternatives of Algal Wastes for Solid Algal Products

  • Chapter
Algal Biorefineries

Abstract

Recently, there is a growing interest in utilization of algae to produce biofuels and valuable products. In order to use algal biomass effectively and decrease cost of the algal processes, researches on utilization of algal wastes for different purposes are carried out. Valuable algal products can be obtained from algal wastes and used in energy, food and environmental applications. Thermochemical processes are the most common methods for conversion of algal wastes to solid products such as algal biochar and algal activated carbon which can be used as energy source, adsorbent and soil improver. This chapter is especially focused on investigation of conversion potentials of algal wastes, which remain after various industrial processes and producing valuable solid products and also direct usage areas of algal wastes.
