Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the sustainable management of concentrated waste streams generated by membrane-based water treatment processes and the advancements in membrane technologies for efficient waste stream treatment. We invite researchers and professionals to submit papers covering various aspects related to the environmental implications of concentrate disposal and the development of membrane-based solutions for effective waste stream treatment. Topics of interest include the analysis of potential environmental impacts, established and alternative management practices, knowledge gaps, emerging trends, and advancements in membrane-based wastewater treatment technologies and nutrient recovery technologies.
Authors are encouraged to delve into a detailed examination of membrane-based wastewater treatment technologies, including, but not limited to, metal ion recovery, and explore the applications and future potential of these technologies. The selected papers will contribute to bridging knowledge gaps, enhancing the understanding of associated risks, and proposing innovative solutions for sustainable waste stream treatment. Ultimately, this Special Issue aims to facilitate the development of economically viable and environmentally friendly practices that can be applied on a global scale.
We invite experts, researchers, and professionals from academia, industry, and government agencies to submit their original research articles, case studies, and review papers to this important Special Issue. By joining forces, we can advance the field of membrane technologies for waste stream treatment and contribute to a more sustainable future.
