Application of Municipal/Industrial Solid and Liquid Waste in Energy Area

Dear Colleagues,

Due to dwindling fossil fuel resources and efforts to protect the natural environment, we are looking for new energy resources. One of the possible ways to maintain the energy balance is the application of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) as well as Industrial Solid and Liquid Waste (IW) in the energy area. Thus, MSW and IW can be considered directly as energy source, and they can also play a role as material resources in the energy area. We would like to invite you to submit the papers in a wide variety of such field. Papers on the fundamental and practical aspects will be considered. The following subjects are welcome:

• Waste-to-energy;
• Processing and thermal treatment (torrefaction/pyrolysis/gasification/combustion) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Industrial Solid and Liquid Waste (IW) in terms of the Energy field;
• Materials recovery from MSW and IW for Energy applications;
• MSW and IW in energy storage field;
• MSW and IW in hydrogen technologies.
