AfteratwoyearpostdoctoralstayattheUniversite´ LibredeBruxelles(CPMCTservice), hecontinuedattheEcoleNationaledeChimiedeLille(ENSCL)atUnite´ deCatalyseetChimiedu Solide(UCCS)foroneyearinapostdoctoralpositioninordertostudytheelementalreactionofCO oxidationoverPt-basedcatalysts.Followingtheseexperiences,ErictookapositionasR&DEngineer at Starklab/Terraotherm to develop the depollution aspect of the Terrao heat exchanger. He has co-authoredover20peer-reviewedscientificpapersandonepatent. Ciro Bustillo-Lecompte has a multidisciplinary background in the areas of civil, environmental, andchemicalengineering.HecompletedhisBachelorofEngineeringattheUniversityofCartagena, Colombia, in 2008 and obtained his MASc (2012) and PhD (2016) at Ryerson University, Canada. CiroisacertifiedProfessionalEngineer(PEng),EnvironmentalProfessional(EP),aFraternalMember of the Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors (CIPHI), and a 2017–2018 Queen Elizabeth Scholar (QES). He is currently an Associate Member in the Environmental Applied Science and Management Graduate Programs, Program Coordinator at the Real Institute, and a Lecturer in the School of Occupational and Public Health at Ryerson University. He has co-authored over 20peer-reviewedscientificpapers,aswellasseveralconferenceproceedings,chapters,andbooks. His research interests include advanced oxidation processes, advanced treatment of water and wastewater, waste minimization, water reuse, water, soil and air quality, energy and resource recovery,andheterogeneouscatalysis. Ce´dricBarrooobtainedhisPhDinChemistryfromtheUniversite´LibredeBruxellesin2014.Aftera two year postdoctoral stay at Harvard University, he is currently a postdoctoral student at the Universite´ LibredeBruxelles. Hisresearchfocusesontheimagingandcharacterizationofcatalytic processesusinginsitumicroscopytechniques. RenaudCousin(Professor)receivedhisPh.D.degreeinSpectroscopyandChemistryfromLittoral Coˆte d’Opale University in Dunkirk, France, in 2000, on the topic of “Soot Oxidation”. After a postdoctoralpositionattheUniversityofStrasbourg,sponsoredbyDaimler,HeworkedasAssistant ProfessorattheLittoralCoˆted’OpaleUniversity, France, from2003to2016. In2014, heobtained an accreditation to Supervise Research (Habilitation Thesis). In 2016 he was promoted to Full Professor.Currently,hisresearchfocusesonthedevelopmentandcharacterizationofheterogeneous catalysts,forapplicationtotheeliminationofenvironmentalpollutants(Soot,CO,VOCs,...).Hehas co-authoredover70peer-reviewedscientificpapersandonepatent. vii Jose´ Colina-MarquezhasbeenanAssociateProfessorintheChemicalEngineeringDepartmentof the University of Cartagena, since 2010. He obtained his B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering in the UniversityofAtla´ntico(1996)andhisM.Sc. andPh. DinChemicalEngineeringintheUniversity of Valle (2008 and 2010, respectively). Currently, he is leading the Research Group of Modeling andApplicationsofAdvancedOxidationProcesses, thataimstosolvewaterdetoxificationissues usingthesetechnologies.HeisalsoamemberoftheEditorialCommitteeoftheRevistaIngenier´ıay Competitividad(UniversityofValle,2012)andamemberoftheEditorialCommitteeoftheRevista CienciaseIngenier´ıa(UniversityofCartagena,2011).Hewasawardedwiththe“Magnacumlaude” gradeforhisPhDstudies,grantedbytheUniversityofValle(2010),and“JuniorResearcherofthe year”,grantedbytheColombianSocietyofCatalysis(2012). viii catalysts Editorial Editorial: Special Issue “New Concepts in Oxidation Processes” EricGenty1,2,*,CiroBustillo-Lecompte3,4,JoseColina-Márquez5,CédricBarroo2,6,*and RenaudCousin1,* 1 UnitédeChimieEnvironnementaleetInteractionssurleVivant,UniversitéduLittoralCôtéd’Opale, MREI1—145AvenueMauriceSchumann,59140Dunkerque,France 2 ChemicalPhysicsofMaterialsandCatalysis,UniversitéLibredeBruxelles,FacultyofSciences, CampusPlaineCP243,1050Brussels,Belgium 3 SchoolofOccupationalandPublicHealth,RyersonUniversity,350VictoriaStreet, Toronto,ONM5B2K3,Canada;[email protected] 4 GraduateProgramsinEnvironmentalAppliedScienceandManagement,RyersonUniversity,350Victoria Street,Toronto,ONM5B2K3,Canada 5 ChemicalEngineeringProgram,UniversidaddeCartagena,Av.ElConsulado48-152, CartagenaA.A.130001,Colombia;[email protected] 6 InterdisciplinaryCenterforNonlinearPhenomenaandComplexSystems(CENOLI),UniversitéLibrede Bruxelles,CP231,1050Brussels,Belgium * Correspondence:[email protected](E.G.);[email protected](C.B.); [email protected](R.C.)
