In a paradigm shift towards resource sustainability and the circular economy, (waste-) waters are now recognized as sources of valuable resources, including clean water, precious metals, renewable energy and nutrients. No longer the culprit of environmental pollution, diverse (waste-) water streams and resource recovery now form an important part of governmental energy strategies, national security and daily life.
Membrane technology has shown great potential in resource recovery and recycling in terms of its superior treated water quality, efficient nutrient recovery, and sustainable operation, especially under some scenarios where biological treatment is not feasible.
This Special Issue in ACS ES&T Water is seeking rigorous research articles, reviews, and perspectives on the latest advances in membrane technologies for resource recovery and recycling from diverse water streams (e.g. salt lake brines, brewery wastewater, landfill leachate, anaerobically treated sewage, and more). Actual applications and case studies in this area are especially welcome.
