About this Research Topic
The field of low-carbon water treatment and resource recovery has gained significant attention in recent years due to the escalating demand for clean water and the need to mitigate climate change impacts. Traditional water treatment methods often consume substantial amounts of energy and chemicals, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This research area explores innovative, sustainable solutions that reduce carbon emissions while recovering and reusing valuable resources from wastewater.
The primary objective of this Research Topic is to address the challenge of balancing water treatment needs with environmental sustainability. By highlighting recent advances in low-carbon technologies and resource recovery methods, we aim to promote the adoption of more eco-friendly practices in the water sector. This includes exploring energy-efficient treatment processes, bioenergy recovery, nutrient recycling, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Our goal is to contribute to the development of a circular economy where waste is minimized, and resources are used efficiently.
This Research Topic invites contributions focusing on various aspects of low-carbon water treatment and resource recovery. Specific themes include, but are not limited to:
• Energy-efficient water treatment technologies;
• Bioenergy recovery from wastewater;
• Nutrient recovery and reuse;
• Integration of renewable energy sources in water treatment;
• Circular economy approaches in the water sector;
• Case studies and practical implementations of low-carbon solutions.
We welcome original research articles, review papers, and technical notes that provide insights into these themes. Contributions should emphasize the practical application of research findings and their potential impact on the water industry's sustainability.
