Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a time when several environmental concerns are held worldwide, it is mandatory to find novel approaches that allow us to reach the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations a number of years ago. These goals are global, but they require specific technological processes to be sufficiently met. This Special Issue aims to act as a platform for presenting new advances related to environmental and green processes, in which nature-based solutions, cleaner alternatives, and low-impact solutions must be reviewed in the context of the circular economy. Transversal sustainability studies, in terms of environmental and economic impact, will also be welcome for submission.
This Special Issue is interested in a wide list of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- The Biological treatment of organic waste: composting and anaerobic digestion;
- The circular bioeconomy: bioproducts from residuals, side streams and by-products;
- Water cleaning and regeneration, with special emphasis on novel waste-derived adsorbents,
- Wastewater treatment and regeneration: biological advanced strategies,
- Sources of renewable energy: biofuels, thermal treatment for waste streams, and other strategies;
- Transversal studies: Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Techno-Economical Analyses (TEAs) of green processes.
