Scope
Today the abundant energy requirement and environmental pollution pose a complex array of scientific and technological challenges. Efficient industrial production with cleaner environment is a key factor in the sustainable economic development of any country. On one hand, the industry is experiencing an increasing demand for better quality of product at lower prices and on the other hand, stringent legislations are forcing the industry to control their effluents. This necessitates the development and improvement of sustainable production technologies and eco-friendly industrial processes.
