The theme of this conference was “Advancing Technological Solutions Towards Sustainable Future Opportunities”, and it showcased the most recent research on sustainability and cutting-edge technologies in the oil and gas industry. This edition will benefit a wide range of individuals, including industrialists, researchers and academics.

Description: The 3rd International Conference of Sustainable and Environmental Technology 2023 and Regional Conference on Environmental Technology 2023 (26-27 September 2023, Malaysia) on the theme: "Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future" were aimed to reflect the latest research results of the cutting-edge technologies and methodologies for promoting sustainability in energy and environmental engineering. The conferences provided researchers and practitioners a platform to share knowledge and research results on renewable energy, climate change mitigation, and environmental conservation. The research focused on the development of innovative solutions to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and promote circular economy practices. The events have encouraged interdisciplinary collaboration, integrating science and technology to address global sustainability challenges.

Description: This is the second book in a two-section series focused on materials and technologies for water and wastewater treatment. By highlighting cutting-edge advancements, this edition aims to combine scientific research and engineering practice in the biotreatment of water resources and wastewater. With its interdisciplinary approach, the book serves as a comprehensive resource for professionals and researchers seeking to develop efficient and eco-friendly methods for water purification and wastewater treatment.

Description: This publication includes the articles from the 5th International Conference on Chemistry and Materials Science (IC2MS 2023) held on October 11-12, 2023, in Malang, Indonesia. The IC2MS series was launched in 2017, with the first meeting that attracted more than 200 participants from over 40 universities/institutions representing such countries as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Brunei Darussalam, and Australia. Since then, the IC2MS meetings have been held biennially as a joint conference organized by Brawijaya University, Jember University, State University of Malang, and Universiti Teknologi Mara with the aim to build up strong academic relationships and united scientific community. The 2023 event was organized by the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Brawijaya University, which was the initial host of the conference inaugural meeting.

Description: This edition includes articles that were presented at the 5th International Conference on Chemistry and Material Sciences (IC2MS, October 11-12, 2023, Malang, East Java, Indonesia). The research findings showcased here will be useful to engineers and researchers in pharmaceutical chemistry, biotechnologies, wastewater treatment, and waste recycling.

Description: This collection presents selected papers from the 1st International Conference on Chemistry and Chemistry Education (IC3E) which was held in Surakarta, Indonesia on August 19-20, 2022. All papers were exposed to blind peer review by the conference committee and the international reviewers. The thematics of these research results are wide and include composites, materials for biomedical applications, nano-scale materials, technologies of wastewater treatment and biofuel synthesis, food chemistry and biocomposites.

Description: This special issue of the journal aims at the advances in engineering science with special attention to the building materials and materials for environmental applications. Main topics include use of alternative raw materials in building materials production, evaluation of the properties and safety of building materials, impacts of buildings and materials on the environment including indoor air, life cycle assessment of materials (LCA), quality of soil materials, and environmental applications of various materials. This issue provides an integrated view of the trends in the development of environmentally friendly building materials and solving the problems associated with environmental safety and the achievement of sustainable development.

Description: The 22nd International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium (24 - 27 September, 2017, Freiberg, Germany) was the global forum for experts from academia and industry active in the fields of biomining, bioleaching and bioremediation. These technologies have a high potential to establish environmentally favourable processes for the recovery of primary and secondary precious and base metal resources as well as the remediation of exploited mining sites.

Description: Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the Special topic volume with invited peer reviewed papers only. The 25 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: From Microbes to Molluscs: Non-Vertebrate Models in Biomineralization; Chapter 2: Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Proteomics for Studying Biominerals; Chapter 3: Biomaterials for Biomedical Application; Chapter 4: Biominerals as Sentinels for Environmental Studies

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main focus of this collection of peer-reviewed articles is three different aspects of biohydrometallurgy: this is the field of microbial ecology which is the key to answering central questions concerning not only the diversity and behavior of micro-organisms in commercial operations, but also possible applications in biohydrometallurgy of extremophiles coming from very different environments. This covers metal recovery bioprocesses, including basic and applied studies of bioleaching and bio-oxidation; but also bioflotation. A large part of the book is given over to interfacial studies which contribute to the understanding of the interaction between surfaces and micro-organisms during those processes. Also covered are the remediation of mining activities and environmental protection as related to mining and mining industries.
