Ship’s Ballast Water Analysis: Microfluidic Technology in Algae Analysis - Yongxin Song

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship's Ballast Water and Sediments mandates ships undertake ballast water treatment to reduce, remove or kill organisms of concern before being allowed to discharge their water. This book introduces technologies and devices that are used for the analysis of treated ballast water. Emphasis is placed on the separation, manipulation, detection, counting, and sizing of microalgae in a microfluidic chip which shows great potential for developing miniatured analysis devices.

Features:

This book is aimed at researchers and professionals in marine engineering, ocean technology, environmental engineering, and microfluidics.
