This peer-reviewed journal provides a forum for publishing a wide range of manuscripts, including Research, Reviews, Case Studies, Perspectives, Registered Reports, Comments, and Brief Communications, from across the full range of disciplines related to resource recovery. All these types of contributions should highlight the development of sustainable technologies focusing on recovery of value-added materials and chemicals from waste resources. Moreover, all submissions must show a distinctive link with resource recovery technologies and applications. Subject areas include, but are not limited to:

 

• Resource recovery from liquid waste, including:

Industrial wastewater

Seawater and deep seawater mining

Brine mining

Produced water

Urine refinery

Geothermal wastewater recovery

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology wastewater

Agro-food wastewater

Precious metal recovery from wastewater

Hydrocarbon recovery

 

• Resource recovery from solid waste, including:

Waste electronic devices

Biomass

Biochar

Sludge

Mineral and coal

Polymeric materials

Composite materials

Batteries

Municipal, biological and medical waste

 

• Resource recovery from gaseous waste, including:

Greenhouse gases capture, recovery and conversion

CO₂ and CO capture and conversion

Air mining

Atmospheric water production
