Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering (CSCEE) is an alternative Open Access Journal platform for the rapid publication of innovative, focussed, and concise content on a broad range of topics, contributing primarily to new knowledge underpinning the Sustainable Development Goals.Rapid scientific dissemination is essential in the modern world where countless ideas and solutions are invented, developed, and launched within a very short time. A key feature of CSCEE is an emphasis on the swift review and publication of specialised and focussed content that is typically beyond the mould of traditional journals. CSCEE therefore aims to publish succinct, highly focused and well-structured manuscripts offering:Case or pilot studies,Proof-of-concept investigations,Mini reviews (by consultation with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission),Research perspectives (by consultation with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission),Short original research papers.CSCEE welcomes manuscripts that incite much needed scientific exchange between academia and the industry thus bridging the gap between the two communities. CSCEE particularly encourages manuscripts that demonstrate real life impact of new scientific knowledge. CSCEE welcomes contributions to address topics that are emerging or require timely attention in chemical and environmental engineering. The journal covers a wide range of processes and technologies in the following:Environmental Engineering ApplicationsWater (e.g. biological and sustainable wastewater treatment and membrane processes)Air (e.g. persistent organic air pollutants, air quality monitoring, indoor air quality)Soil (e.g. soil stability and erosion, soil hydrology and biodiversity)One Health (e.g. human environmental health and risk assessment, ecology)Chemical Engineering ApplicationsResource Recovery (e.g. decontamination efforts/technologies, and circular economy principles)Energy (e.g. renewable energy and sustainable liquid fuel) Biotechnologies (e.g. bioreactors for sustainable energy, biosensors, bioremediation)Chemical Processes (e.g. process intensification, catalysis, waste reduction in construction/chemical/pharma/agrofood/textile/tannery/paper industries)
