Recycling and Evaluation of Environmental Waste

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, climate change and the energy production system have become global issues, and the international community is increasingly calling for action. According to the latest estimates, global energy demand will grow by 35% between now and 2035. The energy crisis has become a major problem due to population growth, high living standards and industrialization. In addition, a large proportion of the energy production still depends on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. However, the overuse of fossil fuels is a major cause of the depletion of and rising prices for these fuels. In addition, negative environmental and climate impacts are associated with emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, smoke and unburned hydrocarbons. Also, population growth, a high standard of living and industrialization have increased the volume of production and consumption waste, negatively affecting the environment due to water and soil pollution in cases of improper processing.

Thus, the search for ways to secure a low anthropogenic load on the environment is endless. Considering the current developments, it will be necessary to adopt intelligent control and emission estimation methods, as well as energy-efficient equipment for energy conversion and waste disposal as technical solutions.

This Special Issue, entitled “Recycling and Evaluation of Environmental Waste”, invites the submission high-quality papers from academics and industry-related researchers on the latest advances in the modeling, simulation, optimization, control and application of all types of components and systems aimed at reducing environmental emissions and qualitatively quantifying and recycling existing and produced environmental waste.
