Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The foundation of sustainable development is water. In both surface and groundwater, nitrate contamination is regarded as one of the most urgent environmental issues. The intention is to find solutions for improving water treatment and for enhancing NO3− removal from wastewater to preserve drinking water and prevent environmental damage. The most effective and economical methods involve denitrification, a natural biological process that converts nitrate into nitrogen gas. A mature technology, denitrification uses specialized bacteria strains and a variety of reactor configurations. In order to accomplish effective denitrification, the system is frequently fed with external carbon sources like acetate or methanol. To avoid the overdosing or underdosing of the liquid carbon sources, the process must be regulated because adding carbon is often expensive. Reactor performance is especially crucial for expected technical advancements in terms of the environment and energy efficiency.
Substantial volumes of industrial sewage sludge present municipalities with significant environmental and financial issues. Due to stringent regulations for wastewater treatment and rising population levels, it is anticipated that sewage sludge production would increase. To maximize energy, resource recovery and relatively low life-cycle cost, conventional sewage sludge treatments and thermochemical sludge treatment methods have been developed. The effects on the environment would be as little as possible, and at the same time, usable resources would be reclaimed.
This Special Issue on “Denitrification Process from Industrial Wastewater and Sewage Sludge Treatment Process” aims to discuss an environmentally friendly zero-waste-generation model. The findings and the resulting tool from this Special Issue will aid decision-makers as they seek sustainable sewage sludge treatment techniques and a more efficient and sustainable denitrification treatment process.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
