Recent Advances in Water and Wastewater Treatment with Emphasis in Membrane Treatment Operations

Dear Colleagues,

Worldwide, an estimated 800 million people remain without access to an improved source of drinking water and in parallel global water demand for manufacturing is expected to increase by 400% between 2000 and 2050. Although between 2001 and 2010 more than one billion Euros were invested by the European Commission to tackle this problem, it is evident that the Millennium Development Goals targets have not been fully met by 2015. In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the sustainable development goals for 2030 and one of them is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Given the time frame of only 15 years, the achievement of such goals requires immediate action and translation of knowledge into practice.

The proposed Special Issue intends to bring together recent research findings from renowned scientists in this field. The aim is to assemble contributions on advanced technologies applied to the treatment of wastewater and drinking water, with emphasis on novel membrane treatment. We seek contributions that analyze water treatment systems with the objective of modelling, designing and optimizing the different processes.
