Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In light of the current global situation, the effective utilization of resources, especially biological resources (bioresources) and biomass, has become an extremely important social issue. In addition, the United Nations has formulated the SDGs, which are goals for achieving global sustainability.

In this Special Issue, we invite papers on recent advances and achievements in the recovery of bioresources using various separation technologies.

With a focus on the separation processes for different types of biomass, papers on unutilized and low-utilized biomass and newly developed separation processes for biomass separation are especially encouraged.

Dr. Hideo Maruyama
Guest Editor
