The quantity of biosolids rises sharply in society, causing serious environmental pollution. During the wastewater treatment process, the discharge of biosolids has become an urgent and severe concern for the whole society. Thus, the successful utilization of biosolids is an essential process for decreasing the impact of wastewater and sludge management. Current research about the sustainable utilization of biosolids mainly focuses on thermal conversion, anaerobic, and aerobic technologies. These technologies can recover the recyclable organic materials from biosolids into various solid, liquid, and gas fuels, which are significant for sustainable development and water pollution control. Therefore, wastewater treatment through sustainable utilization of biosolids is essential and will be the cutting-edge research for environmental engineering and science.
The Research Topic explores the barriers and opportunities of the sustainable application for wastewater treatment enabling decrease environmental impact. In addition, the Research Topic will bring ideas together from academia and industry to environmental organizations and government to exchange ideas and formulate integrated solutions.
We welcome novel and high-quality Original Research articles, as well as Review articles focused on the following topics:
• Sustainable wastewater treatment technologies for sludge treatment and biosolids utilization (incineration, carbonization, composting, anaerobic digestion).
• Resource (nutrients, energy, and valuable chemicals) mining/ recovery technologies from wastewater include sludge and water fraction.
• Sustainable regulation/management methods of wastewater and soil/sludge enabling remediation of contaminated environment.
• Novel and holistic methods for wastewater treatment and biosolids management.
