Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Waste to Energy: Low-Carbon Resource and Energy Utilization from Solid Wastes with Pollution Control”. In the face of severe challenges, such as increasing global pollution, resource depletion, the energy crisis, and climate change, the safe disposal of solid wastes, with the targets of resource recycling and energy recovery, has become key to the sustainable development of mankind. In addition, the recycling and recovery processes also produce a certain amount of pollutants, which should be taken into consideration. From the perspective of strengthening the safe disposal of solid waste, energy recovery, and resource recycling, this Special Issue aims to seek the green and low-carbon system scheme in the process of integrating waste to energy, resource recycling, and pollution control, as well as related new ideas, new processes, and new research progress.
This Special Issue will deal with novel optimization and control techniques for waste to energy. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomass utilization for biofuel production;
- Low-carbon pollution control of hazardous solid wastes;
- Dehydration of solid waste with high moisture content;
- Waste to energy utilization for organic wastes;
- Resource recycling for industrial inorganic wastes;
- Green eco-materialization of solid waste;
- Solid waste treatment with carbon utilization;
- Thermochemical technologies for waste to energy;
- Solar-driven photothermal technologies for waste treatment;
- Electrocatalysis for waste to energy.
