Topic Area Focus: Bioremediation

Bioremediation broadly refers to any process wherein a biological system, living or dead, is employed for removing environmental pollutants from air, water, soil, flue gasses, industrial effluents etc., in natural or artificial settings. The natural ability of organisms to adsorb, accumulate, and degrade common and emerging pollutants has attracted the use of biological resources in the treatment of contaminated environments.

We invite all scientists and experts performing research in relevant or connected areas to submit manuscripts which focus on the following topics: 

Improved bioprocessing of metals and metalloids for bioremediation

Waste streams from agricultural run-off and industries such as mining typically contain toxic pollutants like metals and metalloids which pose a threat to the environment and health. Research and papers which introduce innovative methods and approaches for preventing environmental contamination are welcome.

Treating groundwater contaminated by chlorinated solvents

Chlorinated solvents consist of a large family of chlorinated hydrocarbons that have been used worldwide in large quantities to support various industrial applications. These compounds are environmentally persistent and many pose serious health threats due to their toxic and sometimes carcinogenic effects. Research and papers which introduce innovative bioremediation methods and approaches for preventing groundwater contamination by chlorinated solvents are welcome.

Improving bioremediation practices in municipal water treatment plants

Enzymes and other metabolic pathways that microbes use to degrade guanide and biguanide compounds commonly found in fertilizers, fuel propellants and pharmaceuticals are entering wastewater treatment plants at an alarming rate. Research and papers providing useful insights and data which scientists and engineers can use to improve bioremediation practices in municipal water treatment plants are welcome.

Remediating the damages and environmental consequences from oil spills

Crude oil accidents, either on land or in the ocean, have devastating environmental consequences, especially in pollution-sensitive habitats. Oil spills require millions of liters of chemical dispersants to help remediate damage. Research and papers highlighting new and more environmentally-friendly alternatives to existing methods such as dispersants, surfactants, and emulsifiers to remediate the impacts and damages of future oil spills are welcome.
