Scope

With the current emergence of chemical engineering solutions to solve environmental problems in the scientific literature, the Specialty Environmental Chemical Engineering publishes innovative research and recent advances related to chemical reactor design, kinetics, simulation, process control, and modelling. This includes research paying particular attention to heat and mass balances, as applied to environmental processes or within a sustainability context. The motivation of this section is to highlight the extensive application of chemical engineering tools to classical and emerging environment-related technologies such as wastewater treatment, anaerobic digestion, and biofiltration. Original research, brief research reports, reviews, mini-reviews and method articles are all welcome.

The Specialty covers basic and applied research in the following areas (but is not limited to):

• Water and wastewater treatment

• Waste treatment (including biological and physio-chemical technologies)

• Soil remediation

• Polluted gas treatment

• Renewable energy

• Nanotechnology for the environment

• Life Cycle Assessment

• Circular Economy and its principles

• Economy of environmental applications
