Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrothermal treatment generally refers to processes involving reactions occurring in water at high temperature and high pressure conditions. In sludge treatment, hydrothermal processing may have several different goals such as: (1) enhancing anaerobic digestion process, (2) degrading and removing organic compounds, (3) reducing the sludge mass and volume to be disposed, and (4) recovering valuable compounds.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in hydrothermal processing of sludge. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- hydrothermal processing of sludge;
- hydrothermal processing of mixed waste;
- process optimization;
- full-scale application;
- valorization of hydrothermal processing by-products; and
- resource recovery.
