Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water scarcity is currently one of the most important global issues that urgently needs to be addressed via the development of sustainable water treatment systems. Sustainable water treatment not only includes harmless treatment of sewage, but also involves comprehensive recycling and utilization of energy and nutrients from sewage. Green infrastructure, as an interconnected green space network, mainly involves many green or natural systems, like green-roof systems, green-wall systems, and wetland systems. It has been considered an important design for urban water management in green city construction. Bioremediation, also as a kind of green technology, can reduce the concentration of pollutants in water using biological metabolic activities. It is widely used in urban sewage treatment.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Wetland systems;
- Green-roof systems;
- Green-wall systems;
- Membrane separation;
- Catalytic oxidation of emerging contaminants;
- Refractory organic pollutant removal technology.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Suqing Wu
Guest Editor
