Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water pollution is a major environmental concern and public health threat globally. The Special Issue “Sustainable Water Pollution Control: Bioremediation and Biological Solutions” addresses this issue using biological treatment methods and bioremediation technologies. This Special Issue covers recent research and technologies that use biological resources to improve water quality and the environment for the benefit of sustainable development. Especially, biological processes such as microbial bioremediation, phytoremediation, and algae-based treatment, etc., will be covered. Also, this Special Issue addresses emerging bioengineering techniques for the sustainable removal of contaminants from various aquatic environments. To handle this topic, research articles, review articles, and short communications are all welcomed for this Special Issue.
