About This Topic
The sustainable and eco-friendly management of wastes has been at the forefront of technological, economic and societal development in the last decades. Even more recently, the emerging concept of Circular (Bio)Economy based on the recycling and valorization of wastes towards value-added chemicals, fuels and products, appears as a promising solution to the foreseen depletion of fossil resources. Almost all types of organic wastes, e.g. food waste, low quality lipids, cooking vegetable oils, industrial organic by-products, municipal wastes, forestry and agricultural wastes, plastics, etc., are exceptional candidates to be utilized as “renewable feedstocks” in advanced heterogeneous catalysis processes that can be part of integrated biorefineries and conventional refineries, as well as pharmaceutical, chemicals and polymer industry. In addition to waste valorization, heterogeneous catalysis plays a pivotal role in the remediation of polluted air, water and other liquid industrial or municipal effluents. Advanced (photo)catalytic oxidation of organic pollutants ranging from carcinogenic phenolics to traces of pharmaceuticals found in different water streams is one of the wide varieties of catalytic processes that can be utilized towards a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
Within this context, we invite the submission of original research papers, communications, perspectives and (mini)review articles presenting the latest achievements and trends in sustainable heterogeneous catalysis for environmental remediation and waste valorization to fuels, chemicals and materials, including the important topics of technoeconomic analysis and life cycle assessment. Emphasis will be given not only to the integrated processes but also to the fundamental understanding and design of novel catalytic materials supported by advanced experimental characterization and theoretical simulation.
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue. LIDSEN distributes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License in an open-access model. The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (cr@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
