SDG 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation
Effective wastewater treatment is essential to ensure environmental and public health. Recent decades have seen the development of processes that harness the power of biological systems to remove excess chemicals, nutrients, pollutants, and pathogens from wastewater originating from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources. Bioremediation and biotreatment techniques employ bacteria, algae, fungi, plants, and even animals, to naturally absorb, accumulate, and degrade target contaminants. Biological wastewater remediation and treatment are often more cost-effective, scalable, easier to maintain, and, ultimately, sustainable than conventional physicochemical methods.
This Collection invites submissions on the latest research in bioremediation and biotreatment of wastewater. We will consider original studies presenting methodological and technological advancements, as well as application in real-world scenarios.
