Advances in Innovative Development of Wastewater Treatment Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment technologies are essential to address growing environmental pressures, rapid urbanization, and strict discharge standards. Recent advances in innovative engineering solutions offer great potential to improve pollutant removal efficiency, reduce energy and chemical consumption, and enable resource recovery. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments in cutting-edge wastewater treatment methods, including novel biological processes, hybrid systems, advanced oxidation techniques, sensor-supported monitoring, and digital tools for process optimization. We welcome original research articles and reviews focusing on both laboratory-scale innovations and full-scale applications. Contributions related to circular economy approaches, nutrient and energy recovery, and the integration of smart technologies in wastewater treatment plants are also encouraged.

By gathering multidisciplinary perspectives from academia and industry, this Special Issue seeks to provide valuable insights into the current state-of-the-art and future directions in wastewater treatment. We hope that the presented studies will contribute to more resilient, efficient, and eco-friendly solutions supporting global water sustainability.
