Management of Solid Waste and Landfill Leachate

Dear Colleagues,

The effective management of solid waste and landfill leachate is crucial for environmental protection and public health. This Special Issue of Water seeks to showcase innovative solutions for effective and sustainable leachate management. We invite submissions that explore new technologies, materials, or modeling approaches that can significantly improve current practices.

 Some topics of interest includes novel technologies (advanced biological treatment processes, physicochemical treatment advances, and thermochemical treatment innovations), the use of emerging materials (application of low-cost, adsorbent materials for leachate contaminant removal, exploration of bioremediation potential using novel microbial consortia or engineered enzymes, or the utilization of advanced membranes for efficient leachate separation) or advanced modeling approaches (development of sophisticated leachate generation models incorporating waste composition and environmental factors, application of machine learning for leachate treatment optimization and process control, or life cycle assessment of new leachate management technologies for sustainability evaluation).

This Special Issue aims to contribute to the advancement of landfill leachate management by:

• Highlighting the potential of new technologies and materials for efficient and cost-effective leachate treatment.
• Promoting the development of robust models for improved leachate generation prediction and treatment process design.
• Providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and experiences in novel leachate management approaches.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
