Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While hazardous waste poses a serious environmental challenge, it contains huge amounts of metals and can be used as a sustainable mining resource if managed and treated safely and correctly. This Special Issue aims to highlight the advanced techniques used for this purpose, including electrochemical and supercritical methods. We welcome papers on eco-friendly and green approaches such as hydrometallurgy, bioleaching, biological methods, and the use of green chemicals, as well as other traditional techniques and their development in this area. Finally, we are interested in studies of the environmental impacts of these technologies.
