Reuse of Wastewater: Recovery of Water, Nutrients, and Energy—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Considering the need for sustainable water management, and to comply with the UN sustainable Development Goals, resource recovery from wastewater is a necessity for the future. However, at present, wastewater treatment plants are generally seen as disposal sites—a vision that must be changed to “resource factories”. Some technical issues related to the way that resources such as nutrients, acids, energy, and water can be recovered remain to be solved in order to transform wastewater treatment plants. Furthermore, new applications of traditional resources such as water, or successful experiences of resource recovery at full-scale installation, bring with them the possibility to show a starting phase of this new vision of treatment installations. In addition, incipient research to recover new resources that are unknown can open new possibilities. After the success of the previous Special Issue on “Reuse of Wastewater Recovery of Water, Nutrients, and Energy”, we are pleased to invite researchers to contribute to this second Special Issue. Through original research, proof of concept, and scientific evidence, this Special Issue aims to highlight the state of different strategies, new applications, successful experiences, and new resources available in wastewater, and how the resources can be recovered during treatment for improving the quality of wastewater.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Recycling is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
