Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will discuss new trends in the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater, both at the laboratory scale and at the industrial scale. The new technologies for removing heavy metals, which are environmentally friendly and respect the principles of sustainable development, will be preferred. Authors can submit their work related to each of the main factors contributing to heavy metals removal from wastewater, namely, methods and procedures, materials (especially low-cost materials originating from industrial and agricultural waste), management of wastewater containing heavy metals, valorisation possibilities of waste resulting from the removal of heavy metals from wastewater, etc. We also encourage submissions related to recycling, environmental impact, and wastewater policies post heavy metal removal.
