Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on environmental science and biotechnology, with a particular emphasis on the management and remediation of pollutants and waste streams. Recent articles explore the fate and removal of emerging contaminants like antibiotics, PFAS, and microplastics in wastewater treatment and anaerobic digestion. The journal also covers biotechnological approaches for resource recovery from waste, including bioleaching of critical elements, biodegradation of plastics, and the use of biosurfactants. Furthermore, it examines the role of microbial communities in engineered systems such as concrete and their application in wastewater treatment and nutrient management, particularly concerning phosphorus and biosolids.
