Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of global energy scarcity and global warming, new requirements have been put forward for wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment technology should shift from traditional treatment techniques aimed at pollutant removal to a trend of combining resource/energy recovery and carbon reduction. Therefore, we have launched a Special Issue on “Research on Sustainable Wastewater Treatment”, focusing on wastewater treatment technologies that integrate resource/energy recovery and carbon reduction. The scope of submission includes research on new wastewater resource recovery technologies, research on new wastewater energy recovery technologies, research on energy-saving and consumption-reducing wastewater treatment technologies, carbon reduction assessment of wastewater treatment processes, full life-cycle assessment based on wastewater treatment, etc. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide technical reserves for the long-term development of wastewater treatment technology and contribute to mitigating energy shortages and carbon emissions. There is a lack of research on sustainable wastewater treatment in the existing literature, which focuses more on pollutant removal from water and lacks a full life-cycle assessment of treatment technologies. So this Special Issue is a timely supplement to the existing literature.
