Special Topic Information:
Effective wastewater treatment is crucial for protecting public health and the environment. With
growing concerns about water scarcity and pollution, innovative approaches to wastewater treatment
are essential. This special topic aims to explore the latest technologies, methodologies, and policies
to achieve efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment. We are particularly interested in
comprehensive solutions that address complex environmental, socio-economic, and technological issues.
Key Research Areas Include but Are Not Limited to:
Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies:
Biological treatment processes (e.g., activated sludge, membrane bioreactors).
Physical and chemical treatment methods (e.g., filtration, coagulation, advanced oxidation processes).
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials in wastewater treatment.
Resource Recovery from Wastewater:
Nutrient recovery (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus).
Energy recovery (e.g., biogas production, microbial fuel cells).
Recovery of valuable metals and chemicals.
Sustainable Wastewater Treatment Systems:
Design and operation of decentralized wastewater treatment systems.
Integration of green infrastructure in wastewater management.
Life cycle assessment and sustainability metrics for wastewater treatment.
Wastewater Treatment and Public Health:
Removal of pathogens and microorganisms.
Treatment of emerging contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, personal care products).
Risk assessment and management in wastewater treatment.
Regulatory and Policy Frameworks:
Current and future regulations for wastewater treatment.
Policy and economic incentives for wastewater treatment and reuse.
International and regional cooperation in wastewater management.
Interdisciplinary Integrated Research:
Wastewater treatment and water reuse in agriculture and industry.
Integration of wastewater treatment with renewable energy systems.
Social and economic impacts of wastewater treatment and reuse.
