Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In line with more stringent standards and requirements for industrial wastewater treatment, conventional water treatment processes, at the cost of high carbon emissions to reduce pollution, cannot meet the aim of sustainability. Faced with such a dilemma, there is increasing demand for technological innovation, fostering resource recovery and transformation from industrial wastewater. Relevant research has shown that resource recovery and waste-to-energy from industrial wastewater can be achieved through the oriented transformation and separation of pollutants, thus enabling sustainable wastewater treatment. At the same time, using new energy and sustainable products can further promote the realization of low-carbon or even zero-carbon industrial wastewater treatment.
The goal of “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutralization” has triggered a profound change in economic and social systematic areas. From the aspect of wastewater sustainability, the advanced treatment of high-COD and -salt wastewater has become the priority and main challenge of current research. A reasonable treatment strategy for “CO2 product-oriented” to “biological carbon source-target” is of great significance in the development of a “green” and low-carbon society. The aim is to create CCER environmental protection projects in line with “dual-carbon” goals and respond to the new era of environmental protection EOD projects.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- High-salt wastewater;
- Fine chemical wastewater;
- Refractory organic wastewater;
- Wastewater catalytic treatment;
- Wastewater reuse and recycling;
- Low-carbon water treatment theory and technology;
- Paths and methods of resource utilization.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
