Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, thousands of tonnes of industrial and domestic wastewater are released in natural water bodies, contributing to their pollution with inorganic, organic, and radioactive compounds. Sorption is considered to be one of the most efficient wastewater treatment techniques. Every day, new sorbents are elaborated upon. At the same time, it is important to develop materials which meet several criteria, such as high removal efficiency, environmental safety, and multiple use.
This Special Issue will provide readers with up-to-date information on recent progress in the application of environmentally friendly materials in wastewater purification.
Contributing papers are solicited in the following areas:
- Environmentally friendly materials in metals removal;
- Environmentally friendly materials in organic pollutants removal;
- Environmentally friendly materials in radionuclides removal;
- Environmentally friendly materials in complex wastewater treatment.
