Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the latest advancements in anaerobic digestion (AD) for wastewater treatment. It aims to explore innovative methodologies and technological enhancements that improve the efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability of AD processes. This Special Issue will cover innovative AD processes, effective pre-treatment techniques, supplementation strategies to boost performance, and the integration of AD into other biological systems to enhance treatment efficiency and energy use. It will also include real-world applications, technical improvements, and case studies demonstrating the practical benefits and challenges of AD technology.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to disseminate recent advancements and innovative approaches in AD technology to researchers, engineers, and practitioners in wastewater treatment. By promoting knowledge sharing and stimulating further research, we aim to facilitate the adoption of advanced AD technologies to address the increasing volume and complexity of modern wastewater.
This Special Issue will address the emerging demand for more adaptable and efficient AD processes, and the challenges faced. It will highlight technological enhancements, interdisciplinary approaches, and practical applications, providing significant contributions to the field by filling in current research gaps and promoting advanced AD technology in wastewater treatment.
