Book Part Bioethanol Production in Algal Bioreactors(Elsevier, 2024) Onay, M.; Onay, A.Microalgae are one of the main issues that scientists have been focusing on recently since the valuable compounds and metabolites they contain are used in industry, food, pharmacy, medicine, environmental engineering, and the energy industries. Downstream and upstream processing applications of algae cultures are important for obtaining high-value products. Bioethanol is a type of biofuel that can be obtained from microalgae as a result of sugar production and fermentation processes. The bioethanol process and content are affected by manipulations made in the fermentation process or the types of organisms that provide the fermentation. Furthermore, bioreactor design is an upstream process, and bioreactors are extremely crucial in growing microalgae for fuel production. There are many different sizes, shapes, and materials for bioreactors that can be used to grow microalgae. This study investigates experimental and theoretical bioethanol production from microalgae grown in various materials (glassware or polymeric materials) and bioreactor types (flat, glass bottle, column, loop, thin-film, helical, raceways, and bubble column photobioreactor). © 2025 Elsevier Ltd.

Micropollutants can be defined as pollutants that are present at the level of micrograms per liter and have a bad effect on the environment and living life and microalgae can remove these compounds, such as organic, inorganic, pharmaceutical, and hormonally active substances, from industrial WW. The purpose of this chapter is to explain how microalgae can be used to remove micropollutants from industrial WW using methods such as adsorption, bioaccumulation, photodegradation, biotransformation, volatilization, and biodegradation, and to investigate how artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, random forests, long-short term memory, and reinforcement learning methods in wastewater treatment. © 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH, BoschstraΒe 12, 69469 Weinheim, Germany.
