Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on "The Applications of Advanced Nanomaterials for the Treatment of Heavy Metal-polluted Water and Soils" is dedicated to exploring the nuanced and intricate applications of nanotechnology in the realm of wastewater, polluted soils, and solid wastes. With a particular emphasis on sustainable waste management practices, this issue seeks to delve into the intricate methodologies and novel approaches that leverage nanomaterials to address the complex challenges associated with the treatment of heavy metals in wastewater, polluted soils, and solid wastes.
Encompassing waste treatment, recycling processes, and remediation strategies, this Special Issue aims to present a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art developments in the field. Researchers are invited to contribute scholarly insights, innovative applications, and rigorous methodologies that showcase the potential of nanomaterials in revolutionizing waste management.
Key thematic areas include the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials tailored for specific waste treatment applications, the evaluation of nanomaterials in enhancing recycling efficiency, and their role in environmental remediation of waste-contaminated sites and water resources. By fostering a deeper understanding of the academic intricacies surrounding nanotechnology in waste management, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the advancement of sustainable practices and offer valuable insights for future research in the field.
