Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we invite scientists to submit high-quality scientific and review articles on sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Articles should critically examine existing domestic, industrial or surface wastewater treatment methods and propose new solutions for efficient wastewater treatment using innovative methods, in accordance with the principles of sustainability. The benefits of innovative wastewater treatment methods from a scientific, environmental or economic point of view should be highlighted. Articles should preferably provide insights into how to further manage and utilize unwanted substances removed from wastewater. It is expected that submitted articles will provide new scientific knowledge and insights into improving wastewater treatment technologies and managing wastewater pollutants in a sustainable context.
The following topics will be discussed:
- Technological and research issues related to wastewater reuse and resource recovery;
- Tertiary wastewater treatment using "green sorbents";
- Innovative solutions for individual wastewater treatment;
- Industrial wastewater treatment and its sustainability;
- Effective treatment of urban surface wastewater to obtain clean water that does not pollute natural water bodies;
- Effective wastewater treatment without the use of chemical reagents, eco-technology.
