Today’s restrictions on resources and the environment are very severe. A circular economy is a promising path to the sustainable development of wastewater treatment, a process in which the quantity of biomass waste has risen sharply, causing serious environmental pollution. In terms of sustainable wastewater treatment, the discharge of biomass waste is a major societal concern; thus, the utilization of biomass waste has practical significance in a circular economy. At present, much research has been conducted on biomass waste utilization and the circular economy, mainly focusing on thermal conversion, as well as aerobic and anaerobic technologies. These technologies can transform the recyclable organic materials from biomass wastes into solid, liquid, and gas fuels, which are of great significance for alleviating energy shortages and environmental pollution. Therefore, this research will focus on the sustainable use of wastewater treatment biomass waste to promote the development of a circular economy. We propose the publication of a Special Issue in Water to highlight recent research carried out in these fields.
This Special Issue intends to present novel, high-quality, original research articles, as well as review articles, short communications, and/or letters focusing on sustainable wastewater treatment and the circular economy.
