SCENV publishes original papers, short communications and perspectives, and review articles in all areas of green and sustainable chemistry and engineering for a safer and cleaner environment. Contributions on interdisciplinary themes, including social and political sciences, economics, ethics, and others, that aim to support and promote the implementation and acceptance of green chemistry practices in education, research and industry, are also welcome.
With a growing population and an increased strain on the planet, innovative research on sustainable chemistry and engineering has become the main pillar of industrial development that respects the environment and life-on-earth, by contributing to any of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment covering, but not limited to the following general topics:
Green solvents - Safe reagents and chemicals - Sustainable organic synthesis
Catalytic processes (homogeneous, heterogeneous and bio-catalysis)
Biomass derived (Bio-based) platform & fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, monomers, polymers, materials
Alternative fossil fuels and biofuels, green bio-energy, energy storage and conversion
Valorization of renewable and natural resources
Waste recycle and valorization - Circular economy (food waste, hazardous waste, municipal waste, micro-plastic waste)
CO2 utilization
Alternative and benign chemical processes (microwaves, ultrasounds, photochemistry, electrochemistry, flow chemistry, etc.)
Nano-materials for energy and environmental applications
Green analytical chemistry
Green chemistry in conservation and restoration of cultural heritage
Pollution prevention and remediation
Toxicology and Ecotoxicology of Chemicals and Products
Computational Chemistry towards greener chemical processes
Green chemistry metrics - Life cycle assessment (LCA)
Education and societal awareness - UN Sustainable Developments Goals
Green Chemistry and entrepreneurship
Sustainable and low emissions industrial processes
Environment, renewables and circularity are areas of particular interest, with indicative topics including:
Environment: Pollution prevention and remediation
Contaminants in water, air and on land (pharmaceuticals, pesticides, OPFRs, VOCs, PAHs, PFASs)
Waste reduction, use of safer chemicals
Wastewater treatment
Metrics and artificial intelligent (AI) in environmental chemistry
Adsorption/catalysis for environmental remediation
Microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes
Carbon and Nitrogen cycle
Renewables & Circularity
Lignocellulosic and lipid biomass (waste) valorization - Biorefining
Food waste valorization
Bio-based chemicals, fuels, polymers, materials
Renewable energy sources (wind, solar)
(Micro) plastics recycling/upcycling
CO2 capture and utilization
Metrics and AI in renewables and circularity
Life-cycle assessment and end of life of products
