Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Of the 17 United Nations Sustainability Goals, Goal 6 is to ensure access to water and sanitation for all. Water and wastewater treatment are critical processes to achieve this goal. Climate change will challenge both developing and developed nations with respect to changes in availability of water, sustainable energy consumption and generation in treatment, and the implementation of sustainable processes in the treatment and potential reuse of wastewater. There are also concerns with the non-sustainable treatment of water, which results in the ultimate appearance of unwanted chemicals and even toxin formation, for example, disinfection byproducts. Nanotechnology, materials science, engineering, and biotechnological innovations have the potential to impact the development of sustainable processes for the treatment of wastewater. The problem is multidisciplinary in nature, and the environment as well as human health are greatly affected by how humans will treat their wastewater resources. The treatment systems must be sustainable, not only in the environmental sense but also from the consideration of ethics and economy. This Special Issue is focused on exploring new developments in the treatment of wastewater ranging from small to large size treatment facilities and laboratory or bench scale processes from the viewpoint of a sustainable approach. Papers of interest will address sustainable wastewater treatment from a broad range of disciplines all aimed at this one goal.
