Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With population growth and economic development, wastewater treatment processes become urgent needs to protect environmental quality. In addition, due to resource scarcity in the environment, integrated resource recovery from wastewater can further mitigate the environmental impact of wastewater treatment facilities. Therefore, a sustainable, economical, and efficient wastewater treatment system is critical in order to optimize nutrient removal and resource recovery.
This Special Issue invites articles covering high-quality research, engineering, and management practices as well as review studies that address environmental sustainability of wastewater treatment processes and integrating resource recovery in various aspects including water reclamation, energy recovery, and nutrient recycling. This Special Issue will provide an opportunity to review and assess past studies and motivate novel ideas for future sustainable wastewater treatment processes for nutrient removal and resource recovery. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Lab-scale, pilot-scale, or full-scale applications of sustainable nutrient removal and resource recovery processes;
- Resource recovery in wastewater sludge disposal strategies;
- Modelling, analysis, and optimization of sustainable nutrient removal and resource recovery;
- Energy involved in sustainable nutrient removal and resource recovery technologies;
- Interface of sustainable nutrient removal and resource recovery with water reuse applications;
- Life-cycle analysis for sustainable wastewater treatment systems;
- Decentralized wastewater management for sustainable nutrient removal and resource recovery.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. 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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
