Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled "Advances in Sustainable Water and Wastewater Treatment: Emerging Technologies and Solutions" explores the latest innovations and methodologies in the field of sustainable water and wastewater treatment, with a focus on emerging technologies and solutions. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses the development and application of cutting-edge technologies such as the removal of micro-pollutants, the treatment of refractory wastewater, carbon reduction technology for wastewater, and biological treatment systems. Additionally, this Special Issue covers the biological metabolism model, bioreactor model, the pollution and removal of heavy metals from wastewater, the resource utilization of wastewater, and other topics. The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote sustainable water and wastewater treatment, explore the advances in low-energy and low-carbon wastewater treatment technologies, and minimize the impact of water pollutants on the environment. By examining case studies and recent advancements, this Special Issue aims to highlight practical and scalable solutions that can be implemented worldwide and serve as good examples for the advancement of water and wastewater treatment technology.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The removal of micro-pollutants;
- The treatment of refractory wastewater;
- Carbon reduction technology for wastewater;
- Biological treatment systems;
- The biological metabolism model of wastewater treatment;
- The pollution and removal of heavy metals from wastewater;
- The resource utilization of wastewater.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
