About This Topic
This special issue, “Sustainable Solutions for Emerging Contaminant Removal: Advances in Materials and Engineering”, aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative approaches addressing the pressing challenges of removing emerging contaminants from water and soil. With contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other persistent pollutants becoming a significant global concern, there is an urgent need for rapid advancements in materials science, data-driven modeling, environmental sustainability, and engineering techniques. This issue seeks contributions that explore novel methodologies, experimental strategies, and theoretical frameworks pushing the boundaries of current knowledge in contaminant remediation.
The scope encompasses both fundamental and applied research, encouraging studies that provide fresh insights, comparative evaluations, and interdisciplinary perspectives. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advanced material design, engineered processes, hybrid treatment systems, and integrated solutions for efficient and sustainable contaminant removal.
By bringing together state-of-the-art research and innovative developments, this special issue will serve as a platform for authors to present impactful findings and help shape the future directions of environmental materials and engineering innovations. We are looking for original articles that address the following topics:
- Advanced materials for contaminant removal or degradation in soil and water;
- Innovative engineering techniques for emerging contaminants removal or degradation;
- Detection, monitoring, and risk assessment;
- Integrated and sustainable approaches;
- Case studies and applications.
Original papers that address other related topics with evidence of their contribution to the state of the art are also welcome.
