[Book] Cultivation Techniques for Mass Production and Commercialization of Microalgae

Collection, breeding, cultivation, lighting, air conditioning, extraction... What are the challenges for large-scale development?

Focusing on the cultivation technology of microalgae, which is gaining attention for its use in the biofuel business. This book integrates not only the essential technologies but also various utilization technologies, laying the groundwork for "higher productivity" and "commercialization and industrialization." <Key Points of Essential Technologies> ● Selection and new development of cultivation species... Conditions to be met, considerations, guidelines for development and exploration ● Breeding... Examples of breeding using mutations ● Various collection technologies and screening breeding (isolation and maintenance culture) ● Optimization of medium preparation... Basic systems for proliferation growth and examples of specialized medium development ● Equipment management... Key points for management during cultivation, understanding fatty acid distribution ● Photobioreactor... Development of reactors based on new process development ● Lighting... Light quantity, distribution characteristics, and wavelength of LEDs for algal cultivation ● Air conditioning management... Management methods for different types of plants, aeration ● Extraction... Organic solvent extraction methods, compressed DME extraction methods, hydrothermal treatment methods, supercritical extraction methods, subcritical extraction methods ● Considerations for cultivation in snowy cold regions *For more details, see applications and case studies below.
