Environmental Remediation

Dear Colleagues,

Global industrialization and urbanization have place our environment under threat due to the generation of a huge amount of anthropogenic and industrial waste. Inappropriate waste disposal has resulted in a vast range of severe consequences, including soil contamination, groundwater pollution, ecological destruction, decreases in biological diversity, and many other serious environmental problems which directly affect human health. Thus, it is essential to develop technologies and strategies to attenuate the hazard of environmental pollution.

This Special Issue aims to collect and present all breakthrough research on environmental remediation, such as technologies for toxic waste treatment and rehabilitation, strategies for waste minimization, and schemes for resource recovery from wastes. The scope of this Special Issue covers but is not limited to the following topics:

- Soil remediation technology (including soil rehabilitation, soil washing, toxic waste stabilization, and solidification);

- Treatment technologies for wastewater, freshwater, and groundwater;

- Mine reclamation (including the transport and migration of toxic compounds from mining activities and remediation technologies);

- Recovery of valuable materials from waste sources;

- Biotechnologies for environmental remediation;

- Applications of bioelectrochemical systems for environmental remediation.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
