Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth of industrialization led to a series of problems related to water deterioration and shortage. Water shortage has been become one of the increasingly prominent concerns worldwide. It is of great significance to develop efficient wastewater treatment technologies and recovery applications. As compared with other wastewater treatment processes, membrane technology has been used as an innovative and promising option for wastewater treatment and reuse. However, membrane fouling and its consequences in terms of plant maintenance and operating costs limit the widespread application of membrane technology.
This Special Issue of Membranes on “Sustainable Membrane Technology for Wastewater Treatment” is dedicated to providing a forum that provides comprehensive coverage on the state-of-the-art and study of advanced applications in membrane technology. Both original research articles and reviews are welcomed. All invited submissions for the Special Issue will go through the normal peer-review process.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
