Low-Carbon, Zero-Carbon and Negative-Carbon Wastewater Treatment Technology and Operation Strategies
This special issue belongs to the section "Water-Energy Nexus".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The problem of water pollution is becoming more serious, and the discharge of domestic sewage, industrial wastewater and farmland wastewater leads to environmental deterioration and even climate change. Therefore, low-carbon, zero-carbon or even negative-carbon wastewater treatment technology and operation strategies have been proposed all over the world in order to ensure an early carbon peak and achieve carbon neutrality. This Special Issue aims to collect environmental governance technologies that conform to the carbon neutrality concept; establish scientific and reasonable engineering operation strategies; and obtain modular, automated and intelligent engineering equipment through technological research and development, innovation and integration. The papers included in the Special Issue will lay the foundation for the improvement of the water ecosystem, the optimal allocation of energy, the recycling and utilization of resources and even the comprehensive management of environmental pollution.
