Special Issue Information
Recently, the scarcity of fresh water supply has required us to shift focus to considering the importance of wastewater treatment for further re‐use, recycle, and reclamation through new and advanced treatments supported by policies in both developed and developing countries. Advances in wastewater treatment technologies include the following: advanced oxidation processes (AOPs); constructed wetland (CW); adsorption using granular activated carbon; hydrolysis processes; zeolite or other clay materials; membrane bioreactors; chlorination; and advanced biological treatments. These treatment processes can be applied based on the effluent quality requirements and depending on specific end‐uses.
The presence of xenobiotics, such as endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), pesticides, and various metals, among others, in the wastewater has raised concerns about the impact of these emerging contaminants (ECs) on the environment and on public health. This Special Issue will focus on the fate of these contaminants during different advanced wastewater treatment processes.
