Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand to tackle issues such as water scarcity, wastewater treatment, reuse, and energy production has driven intensive research efforts in this domain. Consequently, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in harnessing the capabilities of biological organisms for the dual purpose of contaminant removal and clean energy generation. This emerging field combines biotechnology, environmental science, microbiology, and energy engineering to develop innovative solutions for addressing environmental challenges while simultaneously producing sustainable energy resources.
Biological organisms, including microorganisms, algae, and higher plants, possess unique biochemical pathways and metabolic capabilities that can be harnessed for the degradation and removal of emerging contaminants from diverse environmental matrices. Simultaneously, these organisms have the potential to generate clean energy through processes such as photosynthesis, microbial fuel cells, and enzymatic reactions.
This Special Issue on "Advances in Biological Organisms for Emerging Contaminant Removal and Clean Energy Generation" invites contributions showcasing cutting-edge research in this interdisciplinary field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Novel biological organisms for the degradation and removal of emerging contaminants from wastewater and other matrices;
Integration of biological organisms in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation;
Bioenergy generation through photosynthetic and microbial processes;
Enzymatic and metabolic pathways for emerging contaminant transformation;
Technological advancements in harnessing biological organisms for clean energy production including the latest BES configurations.
We encourage submissions that combine experimental investigations with theoretical models, as well as studies demonstrating the scalability and practical applicability of these innovative approaches. We would also welcome in-depth critical reviews, meta-analyses, and bibliometric studies on the relevant topics. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange knowledge and foster collaborations in the pursuit of sustainable environmental and energy solutions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
