New Trends in Liquid and Solid Effluent Treatment

Dear Colleagues, 

In the last twenty years, the effects of climate change have started to manifest themselves clearly due to the increase in emissions and concentrations of greenhouse gases into and in the atmosphere. In fact, in the last century, we were talking about waste, and now in the current century, we are clearly talking about the need and urgency to transform waste into by-products that can be transformed into new marketable or high-added-value products, particularly energy products that can respond to today's energy needs. This Special Issue aims to emphasize the critical role of solid or liquid waste in achieving a green circular economy that can meet the needs of today's society, starting from the technologies currently installed and how we can modify or improve them to respond to a more circular economy to include new trends in the treatment and use of waste. In this sense, we would like to invite the scientific community to participate in this Special Issue in order to visualise current capacities to tackle climate change and achieve a circular economy. This Special Issue will accept all contributions related to the treatment and utilization of waste, the generation of new products from waste, green chemistry, new operations and technologies for waste separation, processes and bioprocesses based on waste as a raw material, the manufacturing, valorization, and design of new materials from waste, life cycle analysis, etc.
