Recent Advances in Chemical Treatments of Wastewater

Dear Colleagues,

As one of the most fundamental natural resources for life, water is indispensable to human beings, and the problem of water environmental pollution is receiving more attention. Wastewater treatment techniques globally play a critical role in purification of polluted effluents and achieving sustainable water use in order to solve the problem of water shortage. Among the different treatment methods, chemical methods show advantages including high efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. In this Special Issue, we will cover recent advances in the chemical treatment of wastewater. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, chemical methods in wastewater purification, mechanism studies at the interface of these processes, preparation and fit-for-purpose applications of novel functional materials, strengthening of the current wastewater treatment technologies, and other approaches related to wastewater chemical treatment techniques.
