Water resources have always determined the human civilization and development. The prosperity, decline and migration of many civilizations are all because of water. Therefore, to protect the water resources is to protect the continuation and development of our human civilization.
For the development of new water treatment technologies in the future, we should focus on low-carbon and green treatment technologies including water resources recycling and recycling of pollution matter as reusable resources, as far as possible not to produce new or toxicological substances in the process of water treatment. Moreover, these technologies can be applied rapidly to the actual treatment plants to bring real benefits to people. For the natural environment, we should try to form a closed-loop state of material in the process of human production, consumption, reproduction and re-consumption. In this process, The total material and energy discharged in a certain long period should always be in the range that the natural environment can accept, so that human beings can truly form a harmonious and unified integration with nature.
This Research Topic is open to original research, case study and reviews articles related to (but not limited to) the following research areas:
1)Coagulation & Flocculation;
2)Desalination and reclamation;
3) Non-toxic Visible photocatalysis;
4) Long-lived membrane bioreactor;
5) Wetlands as green technologies for water treatment;
6) Multi-Green technologies integration;
7) Non-toxic Electrochemical treatment techniques;
8) Natural Ecological Technologies
Keywords:
Water treatment, Green Technology, applicable technology
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
