Advanced Technologies of Water and Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

With more than 2 billion people worldwide suffering from water scarcity, clean water is one of the most important natural resources on earth, whereas wastewater, which corresponds to spent water, can be considered a valuable natural resource, if treated and reused. This Special Issue aims to address the current pressing problems of natural water resource contamination, as well as wastewater treatment and reuse. Papers are invited that investigate innovative treatment options for aquatic environments. 

Topics may include, but are not limited to studies on:

Water and wastewater treatment technologies that can address the contaminants of emerging concern for the aquatic environment, such as membrane filtration, adsorption, coagulation, ion exchange, biological processes, ozonation and advanced oxidation or hybrid processes. Moreover, papers are welcome that deal with the fate and removal of microplastics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, oxyanions, toxic dyes and several other environmental pollutants of global concern.

This Special Issue collects original research and critical reviews about scientific and technical information. Case studies describing real-life applications of novel technologies are also very welcome.
