Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is generally considered an environmentally friendly technology for its low energy input, sludge reduction, and the recovery of renewable energy. Various types of wastewater, pollutants and potential solid wastes are treated with AD. So far, the efficiency of AD for high-strength wastewater or fluctuating environmental conditions is not guaranteed. Determining how to enhance the energy-neutral or output energy sustainable paradigms still requires much investigation. Moreover, how to overcome the limitation of a low carbon source during operation is also a problem which should be suitable for energy recovery and greenhouse gas emission requirements. In this Special Issue, we kindly invite you to submit original research and review articles related to the above areas. The sludge system can be from different original sources, containing different pollutants and operated at various conditions. Related model predictions and mechanisms are also welcome.
