Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to cope with the serious shortage of water resources and the deterioration of water quality, countries around the world are paying more attention to the development of cutting-edge technology and water treatment and reuse systems. Water treatment and reuse is the key strategy to solve the problem of water scarcity, and it is also an important measure to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality in wastewater treatment plants and treated water facilities. Wastewater treatment is a traditional energy-consuming industry, and the annual production of wastewater is large; thus, the contradiction between reducing pollution and reducing carbon emissions is significant. Therefore, the synergistic efficiency of pollution reduction and carbon reduction is an important scientific and technological requirement under the two-carbon strategy. From a global sustainable development perspective, the goal of wastewater treatment has shifted from simply reducing water pollution to the sustainable use or recovery of energy and resources. The development of a new generation of low-carbon wastewater treatment technologies is of great importance for realizing carbon neutrality in the water treatment industry.
