Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The harmless treatment, resource utilization, and geological storage of mine water are critical research directions for addressing "liquid waste" challenges in coal mining, aiming to achieve coordinated development between energy resource exploitation and ecological environmental protection. We are pleased to invite interdisciplinary contributions that inspire interest among researchers and practitioners in this field. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Mine Water Treatment Technologies: Physical and chemical methods, biological treatment technologies, and efficient treatment processes.
- Mine Water Resource Utilization: Industrial reuse, domestic applications, agricultural use, and strategic resource recovery.
- Mine Water Geological Deep Well Injection and Storage: Site selection criteria, long-term stability and safety, and monitoring systems.
- Policy and Sustainability: Life cycle environmental risk assessment, policy frameworks, circular economy models, and sustainability.
