Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application of chemical technology and biotechnology to address environmental challenges and resource utilization. It covers topics such as the valorization of industrial byproducts and waste streams into valuable chemicals and materials, the development of advanced oxidation processes and adsorption techniques for pollutant removal from water and soil, and the use of biocatalysis and microbial processes for environmental remediation and sustainable production. Research also includes the synthesis and application of novel materials for catalysis, adsorption, and energy recovery, as well as the separation and purification of target compounds from complex mixtures.
