Desalination and Waste/Water Treatment
This special issue belongs to the section “Water Resources Management, Policy and Governance“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Desalination and waste/water treatment have significantly advanced in recent years, primarily driven by growing global water scarcity and technological innovation demanding effective water treatment and energy saving. Such advancement techniques include reverse and forward osmosis, membrane-based treatments, solar distillation, electrodialysis, advanced oxidation processes, biological treatments, and the use of nanotechnology for water treatment. High-quality research articles and critical reviews on these topics may be featured in this Special Issue.
The topics that will be included:
- Desalination and brine management;
- Waste/water treatment;
- Advancement in waste/water treatment;
- Environmental electrochemistry;
- Pressure-driven desalination and solar distillation;
- Advanced oxidation processes;
- Nanotechnology applications;
- Modeling and life cycle assessment.
