Breakthrough Research in Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on breakthrough research in wastewater treatment is a crucial and pertinent contribution to the field, highlighting innovative advancements in wastewater treatment technologies. The studies presented should provide novel solutions to complex environmental challenges, which we hope will significantly improve the efficiency and sustainability of water purification processes. We aim to present findings that help inform future policy and industrial practices and breakthroughs that are essential for meeting the growing global demand for clean water. The removal of chemical pollutants and waterborne microbes is necessary for human health and environmental stewardship. This Special Issue aims to compile breakthrough research on all wastewater treatment technologies; we accept short communications, full articles, and reviews. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following themes:

1. The removal of various contaminants from water using conventional and advanced water treatment technologies such as adsorption, degradation, membrane technology, and others.
2. Microbial assays in wastewater treatment processes.
