Pollution Control and Recycling of Solid Wastes

Dear Colleagues,

Solid wastes have been largely produced in industry and people’s daily life, including industrial organic solid wastes (i.e., distillation residues, oil sludges, plastics, etc.), industrial inorganic solid wastes (i.e., waste salts, construction waste solids, industrial sludges, waste metals, etc.), municipal solid waste, etc. These solid wastes not only lead to serious environmental pollution, but also cause the exhaustion of production materials. Intrinsically, these solid wastes are resources which could be recovered or recycled as new products. Knowing how to control and reduce the production of solid wastes has become one of the important social problems and urgent challenge for both industry and society. Many different methods have been proposed and developed to control and recycle these solid wastes, such as source emission reduction and end treatment. These advancements in pollutant treatment can help to develop recovery and harmless treatment technologies, as well as potential applications.

This Special Issue on “Pollution Control and Recycling of Solid Wastes” seeks high-quality studies which focus on the latest novel advances in recovery and harmless treatment technologies for solid waste, as well as control processes or routes for pollutants. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Industrial solid waste analysis and treatments;
• Functional materials and performance application for solid waste treatments;
• Pollutant control methods and cases studies;
• The treatment and application of municipal solid waste;
• Solid waste recovery and harmless conversion;
• Recovery process industrial integration, application, and modelling;
• Process reengineering;
• Novel processes for producing traditional materials;
• Process digitization.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
