About this Research Topic
Pollutants emerging in urban sewage and high concentrations of refractory pollutants in industrial wastewater have a serious impact on human health and the environment. Among these pollutants are refractory organic compounds, which can be challenging for microorganisms to break them down due to their large molecular weights and complex structures. They can, however, be converted into small molecular organics using advanced oxidation processes. To further enhance the activity of microorganisms and facilitate the mineralization of pollutants, various methods have been developed. These methods incorporate both advanced oxidation technology and biological treatment technology, such as electrochemistry-biological treatment systems, iron-carbon biological treatment systems, and so on.
The aim of this Research Topic is to explore and investigate innovative methods that combine advanced oxidation processes and biological treatment technology to remove refractory organics from wastewater efficiently, improve biotransformation efficiency and expand engineering applications. Additionally, we are interested in presenting studies that investigate the underlying chemical mechanisms and biological principles behind those advanced oxidation-coupled biological treatment technologies. This Research Topic also aims to explore the effects of advanced oxygenation technology on biological enzyme activity, growth and metabolism by combining biological analysis methods (such as metagenomics and proteomics) with material characterization techniques (such as electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and so on)
Submissions are welcome on the following subtopics, including, but not limited to:
• Recent innovative methods that combine advanced oxidation techniques and biological treatment technology;
• Urban sewage treatment with advanced oxidation technology;
• Combination of advanced oxidation technology and constructed wetland;
• Application of advanced oxidation technology in sludge treatment;
• Resource and energy recovery in wastewater and sewage treatment processes.
