Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, many novel adsorbents derived from agricultural materials, highly porous and nano-structural materials have been developed and applied to remove toxic pollutants from a wide range of environmental matrices. The ease of synthesis/preparation of these novel adsorbents makes them economically viable and cost effective. Undoubtedly, the applications of these novel materials in a wide range of environmental remediation will play a pivotal role towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of Good health and Well-being and Clean Water and Sanitation.
