Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need of clean water for the world is intensifying, driven by population growth, industrialization, rapid urbanization, and climate change. Wastewater refers to all aqueous waste or sewage from homes, hospitals, factories and any other building that uses water in its facilities. Untreated wastewater can have a very negative impact on the environment. The fact that we are making water unusable means that we are literally draining our water supplies. Membrane distillation (MD) has been considered as one of the favorable technologies for the treatment of highly saline wastewater.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this special issue entitled "Membrane distillation for wastewater treatment". This special issue will focus on the use of membrane distillation in the treatment of wastewater, such as brine from desalination plants, produced water, municipal wastewater, and industrial wastewater. Also, the membrane development for their application in membrane distillation applications will be included in this issue. Additionally, innovative investigations on membrane wetting control approaches are welcomed.
Authors are invited to submit their latest original results as full papers or short communications. Furthermore, review articles, case studies and perspective articles are also welcomed and encouraged.
