Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in wastewater treatment technologies and the recovery of valuable resources within a circular economy framework. The focus is on innovative strategies that integrate contaminant removal with resource valorization, promoting sustainable reuse of water, nutrients, energy, and materials. The scope includes but is not limited to electrochemical, biological, physicochemical, and hybrid processes that enable both efficient treatment and circular recovery pathways. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for multidisciplinary contributions that bridge laboratory research, pilot-scale studies, and practical applications, offering readers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art.
This Special Issue will complement the existing literature by emphasizing the dual goals of treatment and recovery, which are often addressed separately. By integrating these aspects, the collection will contribute to advancing practical, scalable, and sustainable solutions for wastewater management and valorization.
