Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As is widely understood, water is essential for life on Earth and plays an important role in the maintenance and functioning of communities, the economy and society. However, modern consumer society endangers global water resources on a daily basis via the emission of various harmful substances into the environment. Moreover, due to increasingly pronounced climate changes, the lack of drinking water is becoming more noticeable. Therefore, in order to preserve the excellent quality of water in nature, but also to ensure a sufficient amount of water for human, industrial, and agrarian consumption, it is necessary to invest enormous effort and resources into the development of effective methods of wastewater treatment. In addition, giving value to once-used water is essential from both an economic point of view and for the preservation of natural resources. Thus, the development of new materials and technologies in wastewater treatment is a key challenge today.

This Special Issue aims to collect original high-quality articles that explore the full potential of new materials for applications in environmental protection and water and wastewater treatment. Research areas include (but are not limited to) the following topics: membranes, development of novel materials, material structural design and optimization, new technologies, pollutants removal mechanisms, process modelling and simulation, and practical (industrial) applications. The highest level of emphasis is given to the materials for membrane construction. However, we are also interested in methods and technologies engaged in water and wastewater treatment. For instance, adsorption, ion exchange, etc., are very welcome topics.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research results. Both original research articles and reviews with new insights in the abovementioned topics are welcome.

Please do not hesitate to make contact with us if you require additional information.

We are looking forward to your contributions.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Membranes.
