Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global population continues to grow and urbanize, the production of wastewater has become a significant challenge, posing serious environmental and health risks. The need for sustainable wastewater treatment methods has never been more pressing. Chemical and biochemical technologies offer promising solutions to address this issue efficiently and sustainably. These approaches have the potential to revolutionize wastewater treatment, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Wastewater treatment plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and integrity of ecosystems and safeguarding public health. However, conventional wastewater treatment methods often fall short in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. Chemical and biochemical technologies provide alternative and sustainable approaches to address these shortcomings. These technologies utilize various chemical and biological processes to remove pollutants, toxins, and contaminants from wastewater, enabling the generation of reusable water and valuable resources.
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase cutting-edge research and advances in sustainable wastewater treatment based on chemical and biochemical technologies. By publishing this Special Issue in the journal Sustainability, we aim to bridge the gap between research and practice, promoting the implementation of sustainable wastewater treatment practices in real-world applications.
We invite submissions for papers that explore innovative and advanced treatment methods in the field of sustainable wastewater treatment based on chemical and biochemical technologies. We encourage research on cutting-edge technologies such as membrane processes, advanced oxidation, the utilization of microwaves or ultrasound, selective adsorption on both natural and synthetic materials with enhanced selectivity, biodegradation, and their combinations.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
