Advanced Bioremediation Technologies and Processes—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Bioremediation is one of the most appealing approaches for the sustainable restoration of environmental matrices contaminated by organic or inorganic compounds. Various strategies, including natural attenuation, biostimulation, and bioaugmentation, can be applied to face the restoration of contaminated sites. Therefore, there is a need for the development of innovative, sustainable, and effective biotechnologies and bioprocesses to successfully transfer laboratory-based practices to real applications. To achieve this aim, all aspects linked to bioprocesses must be considered, including microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, engineering, and managing contaminated sites.

The Second Edition of this Special Issue, “Advanced Bioremediation Technologies and Processes”, will focus on original research papers and comprehensive reviews dealing with innovative bioprocesses and technologies for sustainable, effective, and multidisciplinary restoration of contaminated sites. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Development of innovative bioremediation technologies for the restoration of contaminated environmental matrices;
• Novel bioprocesses for remediation;
• Advances in the characterization and monitoring of contaminated sites;
• Advanced omics for bioremediation;
• Circular economy in remediation technologies;
• Bio-based materials from waste valorization processes for remediation technologies.
• Machine learning approaches and artificial intelligence for remediation.

Our efforts will be focused on collecting original papers and reviews covering the latest advances and novel perspectives in biotechnologies and processes for the remediation of contaminated sites.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
