Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world population is growing rapidly, requests for goods and foods are increasing in the same way and the amount of produced waste is much higher than before. Waste is a type of unwanted material that offers no benefits. Statistics report that global waste generation will increase to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050. Waste threatens the health and environment of humans, which is why waste treatment and management has received lots of attention recently in the hope of reducing the generation of waste and managing generated waste. World organizations have limited the discharge of pollution into the seas and the environment and have established the amount and types of waste and pollution that can be degraded and absorbed by the aquatic environment. These techniques are often called “waste water treatment and reuse” or “water purification”. Solid waste is also another vast source that should be managed and controlled, and, as a result, solid waste must be understood in terms of situation, composition, and nature, so that a viable solution for treating and reusing it can be found.
This Special Issue aims to collect new articles and review papers about waste management and pollution control, as well as the way that they can be managed and reused in societies and nature. Authors that propose new ideas about reducing waste also are welcome to submit their ideas and research.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- waste management;
- waste recycle and reuse;
- water purification;
- wastewater treatment;
- sustainable solid waste management and reuse;
- desalination;
- fuel cells;
- renewable energy.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
