Polymeric Materials for Water and Wastewater Management

Dear Colleagues,

Water is crucial point of interests nowadays due to its special management. On the other hand, wastewaters is one of the important pollution type of the water environment. The careful management of water and wastewater is a big challenge and “hot” trend of recent research. During the last century, a huge amount of wastewater was discharged into rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. This resulted in serious pollution problems in the aqueous environments. So, it mandatory to find the appropriate technique in order to efficiently treat and manage water and wastewaters. Some indicative/typical methods are biological treatments, adsorption, flocculation, oxidation, membranes, and filtration. All of the above can be achieved by using polymeric materials (polymeric adsorbent materials, polymeric flocculants, polymeric filters, polymeric membranes, polymeric composites, etc). This Special Issue on “Polymeric Materials for Water and Wastewater Management” seeks high-quality works and topics focusing on (but not restricted to) the latest approaches to the management of water and wastewaters including biological, chemical, adsorption, flocculation, oxidation, membranes, and filtration using polymeric materials.
