One of the great challenges of contemporary society is establishing a sustainable way of life in harmony with the environment without compromising economic growth and technological development. On the other hand, the increase in the world population has driven per capita consumption, and consequently, the generation of waste. Because of this, new materials are being developed from different types of waste. This Special Issue aims to highlight and share recent scientific findings in the area of “New Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Materials” manufactured from different material types (polymers, ceramics, metallics, and composites) and urban, industrial, mining and agricultural wastes. Moreover, scientific topics such as improving performance and durability, materials characterization, hybrid materials, foams and porous materials, trends and advances, and mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties will also be accepted.

Technology: general issues --- History of engineering & technology --- palygorskite --- adsorption --- anionic dye --- cationic dye --- water treatment --- perlite tailings --- aggregate --- alkali–silicate reaction --- ceramic residue --- alkaline activation --- experimental design --- durability tests --- kaolin --- solid residues --- pozzolanic activity --- cement mortar --- carbonation --- poly (lactic acid) --- high-density biopolyethylene --- bioblends --- compatibilization --- scheelite tailings --- sustainable ceramic mass --- red ceramic --- firing parameters

Adsorption is a well-established operation used for water decontamination and the remediation of industrial effluents. It is also recognized as a key technology for recovering substances of economic interest or those at risk of scarcity. The new sustainability paradigm of the circular economy and the current context of promoting the efficient use of natural resources, water and energy have been motivating the search for eco-friendly adsorbents for water and wastewater treatment and resource recovery. This Special Issue compiles 21 papers (17 research articles and 4 reviews), addressing the removal of heavy metals, toxic metalloids, precious metals and organics from aqueous solution, using a wide variety of adsorbents derived from natural and waste materials.

Technology: general issues --- Environmental science, engineering & technology --- activated carbon --- modification --- surfactant --- adsorption --- methylene blue --- ions effect --- anionic dye --- cetyltrimethylammonium bromide --- sepiolite --- two-step modification --- electroplating sludge --- hydrothermal process --- heavy metal --- electroplating wastewater --- upcycling --- biochar --- thiourea --- cadmium pollution --- adsorption characteristics --- water treatment --- manganese --- iron --- banana peel --- pre-treatment --- phosphoric acid --- human hair --- kinetics --- isotherms --- biosorption --- algae --- bacteria --- biosorbent --- pharmaceutical waste --- complex nickel-aluminum-zirconium hydroxide --- arsenic ion --- different fractions --- Hg2+ --- characterization --- adsorption mechanism --- bisphenol A --- equilibrium --- heavy metals --- K-type zeolite --- fly ash --- lead --- immobilization --- Pb2+ removal --- sorption --- precipitation --- waste recycling --- removal mechanisms --- solid-to-water ratio --- microcystin --- separation --- water quality --- cyanobacteria --- algal bloom --- phenols --- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons --- wastewater --- precious metals --- hydrometallurgical processing --- selectivity --- pine bark --- olive mill wastewater --- carbon nanotubes --- polydimethilsiloxane --- waste treatment --- phenolic compounds --- resources recovery --- dyes removal --- wastewater treatment --- agrowaste biomass --- diclofenac removal --- advanced oxidation treatments --- low-cost sorbents --- nano zerovalent iron --- granular activated carbon --- organoselenium --- water --- treatment --- cadmium --- cellulose nanofibrils --- iron nanoparticles
