Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will review the treatment technology for contaminants removal from water resources.

Water resources management is a complex and difficult task, which includes a set of measures and activities aimed at maintaining and improving the water regime, providing the required quantities of water of required quality for various purposes, the protection of water from pollution, as well as protection from the harmful effects of water.

The main focus of this Special Issue is on treatment technologies that have the capability to treat contaminants in polluted water resources, solid waste resource treatment, high-concentration heavy metal wastewater treatment research, and applied research on functional nanomaterials in the environment, as well as other innovative results. We also welcome papers presenting developments regarding the removal of nutrients (the main causes of the eutrophication of treated wastewater receivers), the presence of pollution in the environment, the toxicological consequences of this pollution on health, and potential removal and treatment strategies. Research concerning the most pressing environmental challenges is also welcome, with particular attention to environmental pollution control and water decontamination.

Dr. Chengyun Zhou
Guest Editor

Copper is one of the chemical elements that is widely used in various sectors nowadays together with the development of civilization especially in agricultural and industrial sectors. Copper is also considered as one of the heavy metals that is commonly present in wastewater. This preliminary study conducted is mainly focused on the techniques of removal of copper in wastewater. There are a variety of approaches for treating industrial effluent contaminated with heavy metals such as copper. Copper separation can be accomplished using a variety of technologies, each of which has advantages that vary depending on the application. Chemical removal techniques that are commonly used for copper removal are adsorption, cementation, membrane filtration, electrochemical method, and photocatalysis. This study compares the fundamentals and performances of the treatment techniques in addition to the future perspective of copper removal in detail. The study highlights the present research in terms of its strengths and shortcomings, pointing out deficiencies that need to be addressed in future studies, pointing to future research prospects.
