We are glad to present to your attention a new journal, "Engineering Chemistry". The first volume contains articles on three topical directions: biofuel production, hydrometallurgy and environmental protection. Membrane microfiltration of glycerol from biodiesel, analysis of challenges in syngas fermentation for bioethanol production, a method for controlling the purity of produced dimethyl ether, investigation of extraction technology for manganese sulfate solution purification in hydrometallurgical production and the review of progress on the use of carbonaceous catalysts activated persulfate for degradation of antibiotic pollutants in wastewater are the topics of articles collected here. This volume will be helpful to specialists in chemical production.
