Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment is a critical endeavor in addressing the growing global concerns surrounding water pollution and scarcity.
This aim involves the exploration and implementation of innovative technologies and practices that can efficiently treat wastewater while minimizing economic burdens and ecological impact. The key focus is on optimizing treatment processes to achieve higher efficiency at lower costs. This involves researching, developing and implementation of innovative technologies and practices that can efficiently treat wastewater while minimizing economic burdens and ecological impact. These technologies aim to enhance the removal of contaminants from wastewater allowing the reuse of water and minimising water consumption. Furthermore, a sustainable approach involves the integration of circular economy principles, emphasizing the reuse and recycling of treated water and by-products. This not only conserves valuable resources but also mitigates the environmental footprint associated with conventional wastewater treatment.
For these reasons, the developing cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment, updating the existing alternatives, is a crucial issue today to minimise water scarcity problems in the coming years.
