Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, we are facing severe resource and environmental constraints. As society's demand for low-carbon and digital solutions continues to increase, the wastewater treatment industry faces enormous challenges and opportunities. In this process, the circular economy is seen as a promising path for the sustainable development of wastewater treatment. However, the carbon emissions and energy consumption generated during wastewater treatment remain a serious problem that requires us to find innovative solutions. In terms of sustainable wastewater treatment and circular economy, reducing carbon emissions and driving digital transformation are essential. Therefore, this study will focus on low-carbon technologies and digital solutions in the wastewater treatment process to promote the development of circular economy. We propose to publish a Special Issue in Water to highlight recent research in these areas.
This Special Issue aims to showcase novel, high-quality, original research articles, as well as review articles, short newsletters and/or letters focused on the decarbonization and digital transformation of wastewater.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Low-carbon technologies and carbon emission reduction strategies in wastewater treatment and circular economy.
- The application of digital technology in the sewage treatment process, such as machine learning, intelligent monitoring, big data analysis and artificial intelligence optimization.
- Energy self-sufficiency and energy conversion technology for sewage treatment plants.
- Use digital technology to optimize the wastewater treatment process, improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
