Guide for article submission to any special issue hosted by IEEC & BWR 2019.
All registered authors to IEEC & BWR 2019 are eligible to submit their manuscripts to the relevant special issue(s).
Each paper should be submitted with a cover letter containing the scanned image of "Registration certificate or Registration receipt" issued by IEEC & BWR 2019 conference committee. (One registration is eligible to submit only one paper.)
All submitted manuscripts are to undergo stringent, double-blind, and external peer review that has been established by the review guideline of each journal.
The topic of the manuscript should comply with the scope of each special (or topical) issue.

• Published by ELSEVIER (Topical Issue)
• Topic: Sustainable and Resilient Environmental Science and Engineering
• First submission date (1st Jan. 2020): Submission of the special issue will be open on 1st Jan. 2020 and will closed the submission in two months.
Global primary energy consumption from fossil resources in 1973 and 2016 was 6.1 and 13.8 billion tons of oil equivalent (Btoe), respectively. Such rapid increases during last 43 years are likely due to high socio-economic metabolisms for carbon with economic growth and population pressure.
Heavy reliance on the fossil resources for producing energy and chemicals becomes a key factor to increase the atmospheric concentration of CO2, of which the level has been exceeding the Earth’s full capacity to assimilate carbons through the natural carbon cycles. Also, hazardous chemicals/pollutants from the diverse industrial sectors (chemical, agricultural, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, etc.) have been discharged into our social-ecological systems. Our concern is, therefore, adaptive management to mitigate hazardous materials and greenhouse gases for sustainable and resilient society
As such, our proposed thematic issue laid great emphasis on the development of the sustainable and resilient waste management. To soothe the current environmental problems, the advanced solutions to deal with the hazardous materials/wastes must be proposed and implemented.
Hence, it is essential to detect and monitor the hazardous materials/wastes in a changing climate, followed by the treatment of them with sustainable and resilient environmental technology.
The special issue of journal of hazardous materials intends to consolidate the scientific efforts made by researchers in these research fields. This special issue will involve research articles and critical comprehensive reviews (invitation only) focusing on the following topics:
• Detection and treatment of heavy metals, micropollutants, or other hazardous materials
• Monitoring sensor
• Membrane technology to separate pollutants
• Adsorption or absorption materials for wastes (solid, liquid, gas phases)
• Sustainable bioenergy engineering of waste and wastewater
• Greenhouse gas and odor mitigation technology and modelling
• Monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions and energy exchanges in highly populated areas
• Fate of hazardous materials during waste treatment
The Journal of Environmental Research is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing high quality information in a wide range of environmental disciplines.
- Topic: Biomass/waste Valorization into Environmental Materials
The valorization of biomass/waste is emerging as a new trend for producing materials for various environmental applications. The feedstock materials encompass numerous wastes and residues generated from natural, agricultural, and industrial processes that often require costly treatment/disposal to ensure protection of the environment. With the depletion of resources and growing public concerns, biomass/waste valorization is considered as a cost-saving and environmental-friendly option in the field of materials engineering. A variety of biomass/waste feedstocks have been transformed into environmental materials through different physicochemical routes and employed in various applications to remove pollutants in both solid and aqueous states. Hence, this special issue is dedicated to compiling papers on various forms of biomass/waste valorization into materials for application in environmental processes and practices.

• As one of Guest Editor, Prof. Kitae Baek will be a lead guest editor to take overall responsibility for managing the Special Issue according to the workflow of the journal.
• Less than 30 papers will be published in the special issue, and strongly relevant papers to the aims and scope of Environmental Geochemistry and Health will be sent for reviewing to evaluate the quality of paper and to improve the quality of paper.
• Prof. Kitae Baek is one of co-chairs for BWR 2019, and he will announce the special issue on the official website of the conference and on the flyer for the IEEC and BWR 2019.
• The special issue of EGAH will focus on contamination, remediation and health for the pollutants in natural aquatic, soil, sediments, and atmospheric environments. The special issue will fill a gap in the current lack of updated and comprehensive knowledge on the health issue due to the contamination and remediation.
