**About the Editors**

**Jorge Bedia** obtained his degree in Industrial Engineering and obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Malaga (Spain). He has been an Assistant Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department of the Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain) since 2013. His research interests include: (i) the synthesis and characterization of carbon-based materials for adsorption and catalysis; (ii) synthesis and applications of MOFs; (iii) water purification via advanced oxidation processes, especially photocatalysis; (iv) the gas-phase hydrodechlorination of chlorinated volatile organic compounds and (v) separation and catalytic processes with ionic liquids and supported ionic liquids. Dr. Bedia is co-author of around 100 refereed journal publications (more than 3500 citations with an H factor of 38), 3 book chapters and 2 Spanish patents. He has presented over 150 works to national and international conferences with over 20 oral presentations. He has been involved in more than 20 research projects from different entities: European, national, integrated or cooperative with other countries (Russia, Mexico, Germany, Peru and the USA) and several research contracts with private companies. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the *Chemical Engineering Journal* and *Associate Editor of Separation and Purification Technology*.

**Carolina Belver** has been an Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering Section at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain since 2011. She received her chemistry degree from the Autonomous University of Madrid in 1997 and obtained her Ph.D. in 2004 from the University of Salamanca (Spain). She performs research in the fields of (i) water purification via photocatalysis, (ii) the design of novel heterostructures for environmental remediation, (iii) water treatment via adsorption, (iv) advanced oxidation technologies for water treatment and (vi) environmental nanotechnology (fundamental and applications of nanomaterials). Dr. Belver is co-author of 90 publications with more than 3600 citations, receiving an H factor of 35, and 11 chapter-books. She has presented over 120 works to national and international conferences. In 2013, Dr. Belver received a Fulbright Fellowship, and she has been involved in more than 25 research projects from different entities: European, national and cooperative with other countries (China, Mexico, Peru and the USA) and several research contracts with private companies. She is a principal investigator of two national research projects and two collaboration projects which are Latin-American. She is Editor of the *Chemical Engineering Journal*.
