IJEE is an interdisciplinary and refereed journal, a think tank that fosters environmental protection and innovative solutions to ensure healthy, safe and efficient industrial operations. It promotes feasible system design, development and management, bringing together sustainable technologies, people and sound processes. It provides cross-learning between various scientific, technological, business and economics disciplines such as agriculture, fisheries, transportation, oil and gas, mining, metallurgy, and areas of conflict, taking into account environmental, health and safety, and other issues of public concern.
Topics covered include
- Nature and environment
- Human activities and intelligence, artificial intelligence, knowledge-based systems
- Air, water and land pollution
- Toxic and radioactive pollution
- Water supply and resources
- Agriculture and fisheries
- Transportation
- Oil and gas, mining and metallurgy

Objectives
The aim of IJEE is to provide an international forum for academics, industry leaders, and policy makers to investigate and exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge and information covering the broad range of natural systems and industrial activities and fields including, but not limited to, environmental science and engineering, resources management and engineering, processing, earth sciences, economics, engineering, information technologies, management, medicine, and the arts. In addition, it aims to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex set and behaviour of natural systems and operations. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the fields of environmental systems protection, natural science, health and safety, production, and processing. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating ecological and technological advances in all industries and the global society and economy. The ultimate objective is to ensure healthy human activities, natural industrial operations, and society progress and evolution.
Readership
IJEE provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the field of environmental engineering dealing with various human activities and industrial operations such as agriculture, fisheries, transportation, oil and gas, mining, metallurgy, processing, and conflicts, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.

Copper tops trash talk
10 February, 2025
Electronic waste, including PCBs, is a rapidly growing problem as consumers endlessly replace their electronic gadgets. Regulations can go so far to nudge this waste into a recycling stream, but there is still the pressing need for the technology to process the waste. The retrieval and extraction of useful metals from electronic waste will be a critical part of creating a sustainable future if that is to be technology led. Many metals are relatively rare or found only in geopolitically sensitive regions of the world. More to the point, we have tonnes of discarded devices, circuit boards, and wiring sitting in recycling dumps and landfills. If there were a simple way to extract metals, such as copper, from these resources, that use less energy and fewer resources than mining the ores, then that would offer us a more environmentally friendly option to sourcing copper. Jayashree Mohanty, Puspita Biswal, Subhashree Subhasmita Mishra, and Tamasa Rani Das Mohapatra of the C.V. Raman Global University in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, have now demonstrated an approach to extracting copper from printed circuit boards that does not require the PCBs to be dismantled. Their approach, reported in the International Journal of Environmental Engineering, uses pieces of chopped up PCBs as one electrode in an acidic solution, the electrolyte, with the other electrode is a stainless steel plate. By passing an electric current through the electrodes and the solution it is possible to dissolve the copper as positive ions into the solution. The current then drives these ions towards the negative electrode, the steel plate, where they are deposited as metallic copper. This copper plating can be readily removed from the steel electrode [...]
