Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental remediation deals with the removal of contaminants and/or prevention of pollution from environmental media, such as soil, groundwater, sediment, and surface water. The development of environmental remediation technologies is a growing research area, which aims to ease public health concerns, improve ecology, and facilitate the redevelopment of contaminated sites.

In situ and ex situ remediation technologies have been developed to rectify contaminated sites, utilizing various tools and devices through physical, chemical, biological, electrical, and thermal processes to restrain, remove, extract, and minimize the effects of contamination. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers worldwide to disseminate recent scientific developments and technical solutions in the field of environmental remediation. Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles to provide critical insights into technology development in the given areas. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following environmental remediation technologies (see the keywords listed below).

I hope this SI will open up new insights and opportunities in the field of environmental remediation now and for the future.

The use of ferrate has been demonstrated as a highly efficient technique for the removal of pollutants in water and wastewater treatment. While most of the published work about ferrate investigated the treatment performance by ferrate alone, new applications of ferrate expand to the synergistic application of ferrate with other techniques such as membrane separation, sulphur-based chemical use, UV radiation, ozonation, acidification, and other chemical additives. This paper aims to review and explore the treatment performance and reaction mechanisms associated with synergistic applications of ferrate. The main objective of this study is to conduct case studies on the synergistic application of ferrate with other water processes. It was found that the efficiency of water treatment increased significantly by the synergistic application of ferrate, and this is attributed to the alleviation of membrane fouling, the activating the formation of more radical oxidative species, enhanced coagulation, and the potential improvement of micropollutants’ biodegradability. Therefore, the stated ferrate technology holds high potential for improving the efficiency of water treatment and other environmental remediation processes. Further studies are required to explore a more feasible combination of ferrate with other techniques and expand the understanding of the working mechanisms of the known synergistic applications of ferrate.
