Environmental catalysis has been emerging as one of the rapidly growing areas in catalysis and has made significant progress in recent years. This special issue is a selection of the papers presented at the 6th International Conference on Environmental Catalysis (6th ICEC), which was held in Beijing on September 12–15, 2010. The 24 papers in this issue cover the most recent advances in fundamental and applied aspects of environmental catalysis research, including automotive exhaust catalysis, catalysis for pollutant removal, catalysis for reforming, catalysis for oxidative desulfurization of fuel oils, and so on. These manuscripts were accepted after a peer-review procedure as those accepted usually for publications in this Journal.
