Desalination and Wastewater Treatment: Chemical, Physical, and Biological Methods
This special issue belongs to the section "Wastewater Treatment and Reuse".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Water scarcity is becoming a significant problem throughout the world due to rapid population growth and the increase of industrial and commercial activities. To mitigate water demand, it is necessary to create and find alternative sources of fresh water. In this regards, the use of desalination and the reuse of wastewater is gaining much attention worldwide. Different chemical, physical and biological methods are being used to produce fresh water from seawater and wastewater. Fundamental and applied research on process improvement and the optimisation of desalination and wastewater treatment technology has gained much attention among researchers who seek to assess the feasibility of these processes to aplly them in an industrial setting. Thus, this Special Issue aims to cover the recent development and advancement of different chemical, physical, and biological methods used for desalination and wastewater treatment.
