Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing concern for environmental sustainability and the need for effective waste management have heightened the focus on innovative and efficient waste treatment methods. Biological treatments offer a promising avenue for addressing the complexities of waste treatment due to their eco-friendly and cost-effective nature. This research area is crucial as it explores the use of microorganisms and natural processes to degrade, detoxify, and recycle waste materials, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of various industries while valorising waste.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, where we aim to gather cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that advance our understanding and application of biological treatments in waste management. By sharing novel insights and developments, we hope to promote the adoption of these sustainable methods across different sectors.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in bioremediation techniques for industrial waste;
- Advances in microbial treatment of municipal and agricultural waste;
- Application of biological and enzymatic processes in waste degradation;
- Biological processes for waste valorisation;
- Challenges in biological processes for bioremediation;
- Case studies on the implementation of biological waste treatment in real-world scenarios.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Luciana Pereira
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
