Special Issue on Waste Management and Treatment

Solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases spread by rodents and insects. The tasks of solid-waste management present complex technical challenges. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Waste Management and Treatment.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Waste Management and Treatment. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Developments in waste management
• Agricultural waste water treatment
• Industrial wastewater treatment
• Sewage treatment
• Hazardous radioactive waste
• Hazardous biological waste
• Radioactive waste treatment
• Solid waste treatment
• Waste Sorting and Segregation
• Composting, gasification, pyrolysis and incineration
• Waste management systems

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Waste Management and Disposal” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
