Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water resource scarcity and water pollution are stringent problems threatening the entire world. Supply of adequate freshwater is essential to guarantee the welfare of people and the development of the global economy. Continuous research on water and wastewater treatment, as well as byproduct remedy, has promoted the evolution of water purification science and technology, leading to greater accessibility to and affordability of clean water. Emerging technologies are also being studied to further support sustainable water supply.
This Special Issue on “Science and Technology for Water Purification, 3rd Edition” welcomes the submission of contributions that explore promising water and wastewater treatment technology, as well as related scientific topics. Solutions to renew existing water purification technology in terms of pollutant removal efficiency, energy consumption, and resource recovery will be covered as well.
For this Special Issue, research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Physical, chemical, and biological techniques for water purification;
- Wastewater recycling, reuse, and resources;
- The identification, analysis, and remedy of novel pollutants and byproducts;
- Novel materials and reactors for water purification;
- Processing models for water purification or byproducts;
- Construction and management of eco-friendly wastewater engineering.
Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
