Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current handling and disposal of solid wastes rely primarily on containment, landfills, and solidification/stabilization. However, in addition their costs, these approaches may result in severe secondary pollution and outflow of valuable resources. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, it is imperative that innovative materials and cost-effective approaches to handle and treat wastes are developed. To address these resource and environmental challenges, this interdisciplinary Special Issue will focus on advanced materials and approaches for waste treatment. For this SI, we are seeking manuscripts considering the preparation and characterization of various advanced materials derived from solid wastes; innovative waste treatment processes with an emphasis on resource recovery; efficient resource reutilization; and sustainability. Paper detailing advances in the field of low-environmental-impact technologies and eco-friendly materials are also welcome.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
