Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane technologies have played a crucial role in achieving sustainable resource recovery. As environmental issues arise, the need for efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solutions to retrieve valuable resources from waste streams becomes ever more urgent. This Special Issue on "Advancements in Membrane Technologies for Resource Recovery" aims to collect the latest findings and research progress in this field, emphasizing the role of membranes in achieving sustainable development goals. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and institutions to present their work and ideas on novel membrane technologies designed for resource recovery. This issue will explore the advancements in membrane material science, process engineering, and applications across various industries. It seeks to highlight the versatility and potential of membrane technologies in recovering water, nutrients, energy, and other valuable resources from different waste streams. This Special Issue will serve as an essential reference for scientists and engineers working in the field of membrane technologies and resource recovery. By compiling high-quality research articles, reviews, and case studies, it expects to advance the understanding and application of membrane technologies in resource recovery, promoting the development of sustainable solutions to address global environmental challenges. The Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- New membrane materials for resource recovery;
- New membrane processes for resource recovery;
- Green fabrication techniques;
- Hybrid systems and integrated approaches;
- Economic and environmental impacts;
- The recovery of different resources, such as water, salt, ions, energy, and heat.;
