Towards Energy-Positive and Carbon-Neutral Technology for Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the context of water resource shortages, energy and resource crises and global warming, the wastewater industry is facing unprecedented challenges. There is a pressing need to develop energy-positive and carbon-neutral wastewater treatment and reclamation technologies to meet the many targets of increasingly stringent discharge limits, lower energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint for future wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Moreover, a more comprehensive and sustainable infrastructure needs to be implemented for next-generation wastewater treatment and reclamation, with the aid of functional materials, chemical catalysts, microbiomes, smart control, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc. Based on the above, we aim to publish the Topic “Towards Energy-Positive and Carbon-Neutral Technology for Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation” in one of MDPI’s journals. Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers to promote recent advances in the science and technology of sustainable wastewater treatment. We welcome high-quality original articles, review articles, short communications and case studies.
