About this Research Topic
Wastewater can be treated in multiple ways, but phase separation and biological and chemical processes are among the most commonly used. Sludge is the most common by-product of wastewater treatment plants. Biogas can be generated as a by-product of anaerobic treatment procedures. Reclaimed water can be created by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting wastewater. The primary goal of sewage treatment is to either dispose of wastewater or recycle it.
The current Research Topic will assist researchers in developing an improved understanding of innovative water and wastewater treatment methods. It also aims to help field experts develop and predict the nature, impact, and associated future effects. Chemical treatment application research, or chemical treatment processes in general, must provide new information in the field, including new methods and applications. The aim of this collection is to provide an overview of the current state of wastewater treatment trains worldwide. Hospital effluent is considered a point source of micropollutants in a public sewage system with surface water as an endpoint. Various changes in the law have compelled academics, management, and stakeholders to discuss technological alternatives.
This Research Topic is proposed as a platform for various researchers from multiple disciplines to discuss topics including, but not limited to the following:
• Energy management techniques and life cost analysis of treatment plant concerning energy.
• Real-time control and optimization of integrated treatment plants.
• Optimization of resources and their recovery from waste treatment plants.
• Applications of solar power at wastewater treatment plants.
• Clean water and sanitation through Affordable and Clean Energy.
• Chemical treatment methods for emerging contaminants
• Electro-coagulation and its advancement with Solar assisted treatment
• Recent development in landfill leachate treatment
