Innovative Pathways for Water Resource Recovery and Environmental Sustainability: Integrating Technologies, Materials, and Systems

Published 03 December, 2024

This collection brings together research addressing critical challenges in water resource recovery, environmental contamination and sustainable water management. The articles explore technologies such as machine learning models, biochar applications and electroactive wetlands, alongside studies on microplastic contamination, hydrogen production and advanced oxidation processes. Collectively, the works provide a comprehensive analysis of the water meta-cycle, encompassing interdisciplinary solutions that integrate environmental science, engineering and policy frameworks. This collection underscores the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration to ensure the sustainable management of water resources in the face of growing environmental pressures and technological advancements.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to

Water treatment, recycle and reuse for different water resources, including wastewater, industrial wastewater, drinking water, reclaimed water, rainwater, seawater, mine water and brackish water.
The water-waste-soil-atmosphere nexus.
Water-mediated material transformation, element cycle and energy flow.
