Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Anthropogenic activities often perturb environments and severely limit their capacity for regeneration. Although numerous important results have been achieved, there are so many key issues concerning restoration/remetiation that still remain unresolved.

This Special Issue, dedicated to enriching knowledge in the field of environmental restoration, will focus on the development and implementation of green strategies geared to reverse the negative environmental impacts of soil, water, and air. The aim is to advance and disseminate knowledge in all branches of pollution remediation/restoration science and engineering.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions of papers addressing any aspects of contaminated environment remediaton/restoration (e.g., water, soil, and mines contaminated by heavy metals, organic matter, and any other pollutants) by green or sustainable technologies. All submitted papers should be related to (but not limited to) bioremediation, electrokinetic remediation, green chemistry restoration, preparation of functional and ECO materials, etc., that possess the characteristics of safety, innocuity, no side-effect, and  low-cost. This Special Issue emphasizes researches in developing fields, as well as papers showing the interaction between environmental disciplines and other disciplines. It provides a platform to exchange and update new insight into the link between green remediation/restoration science and technology, environmental fate, risk assessment, and ecotoxicity. All types of papers that fall within the above research areas are welcome. This Special Issue will be a bridge between environmental scientists and engineers, soil and water scientists, hydrologists, microbiologists, and environmental policy makers.
