Abstract
Adsorption plays an indispensable role in addressing critical environmental challenges, including water purification, air quality control, and resource recovery. Despite its central importance, adsorption research remains widely dispersed across journals focused on chemistry, materials science, environmental science, and chemical engineering. Environmental Adsorption Research has been established to provide a dedicated and authoritative platform for advancing adsorption science and engineering in environmental contexts. This editorial outlines the journal’s objectives, scope, and vision, emphasizing its commitment to scientific integrity and its role in addressing contemporary environmental challenges.~The journal aims to consolidate the field, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and ensure the highest standards of research quality and ethical publishing.
