Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to meet the needs of humans, ecosystems, and the environment, the quality and quantity of available water are equally important. However, the rapid development of industry and agriculture in the world has caused serious levels of water pollution. At the same time, the increase in population has led to shortages of water resources. According to the statistics, 80% of wastewater in the world is discharged into the environment without purification or treatment. At present, the environmental pollution of water is usually caused by various factors such as industrial wastewater, agricultural discharge, urban domestic sewage, solid waste, and mine discharge. Water pollution seriously affects human health, ecosystems, and socioeconomic development, which is why the treatment of water environmental pollution has become a major issue. The increasing attention paid to water pollution treatment and environmental pollutant remediation has prompted people to explore effective strategies for eliminating wastewater pollution and generating clean energy. Overall, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide original research and review articles on the removal of environmental pollutants from water, as well as to share new progress in this field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Current status and development prospects of pollutant removal technologies;
- Removal of organic pollutants;
- Removal of heavy metal pollutants;
- Removal of microbial pollutants;
- Removal of solid suspended particulate pollutants;
- Removal of drug pollutants;
- Removal of microplastic pollutants;
- Removal of nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus).
