Wastewater treatment allows for the safe disposal of municipal and industrial wastewater to protect public health and the ecosystem
The articles belong to the following broad categories: biological treatment process parameters, sludge management and disinfection, removal of trace organic contaminants, removal of heavy metals, and synthesis and fouling control of membranes for wastewater treatment
Conventional water and wastewater treatment processes rely on extensive chemical disinfection to comply with stringent microbiological safety standards for drinking water production and wastewater reuse, respectively [6]
Summary
Wastewater treatment allows for the safe disposal of municipal and industrial wastewater to protect public health and the ecosystem. In many parts of the world, the problem of water scarcity is being exacerbated by urban growth and increasingly erratic rainfall patterns due to climate change. Conventional sewage treatment plants can effectively remove total levels of organic carbon and nitrogen, as well as achieve some degree of disinfection. These plants have not been designed to remove priority pollutants. The development of advanced wastewater treatment processes is necessary This special issue on Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Technologies includes 12 publications from esteemed research groups around the globe. The articles belong to the following broad categories: biological treatment process parameters, sludge management and disinfection, removal of trace organic contaminants, removal of heavy metals, and synthesis and fouling control of membranes for wastewater treatment
