Environmental and Workplace Sustainability of the Industrial Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Water, soil and air pollution are among the most critical aspects that are negatively impacting the environment, and our health consequently. While the technological evolution of industrial productions has definitely improved the quality of human life, the development and the effective application of sustainable processes did not come out on a parallel line, leaving to us both the duty and the opportunity to study and propose new models, ideas and inventions. This framework covers an extremely wide area of research: energy production, food technologies, Oil & Gas, pharmaceutics, fine chemistry and waste management and treatment, including both regular process design, new technologies, improved logistics and theoretical methos. Studies may involve specific topics for these fields, but common themes are also interesting, such as reducing energy harvesting.

Therefore, authors are invited to present original research articles, review papers, or communications focused on the proposal of sustainable processes or tools. Works including the improvement of safety and quality of workplaces should be also included, due to their not ignorable impact on sustainability.
