Abstract
The growing global population and the expansion of agricultural production have resulted in the excessive use of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), which has become a significant environmental challenge. Consequently, addressing wastewater treatment has become a critical priority for achieving sustainable development. This paper presents an overview of the fundamental principles and typical processes for biological N and P removal, followed by a detailed examination of various methods for recovering N and P resources from wastewater. Furthermore, the necessity, characteristics, and applications of biological N and P removal coupled with resource recovery processes are comprehensively analyzed. These coupled processes are anticipated to evolve continually, enhancing treatment efficiency, enabling the simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants, and improving resource recovery, thus advancing the development of green and sustainable water treatment technologies. In the future, the integration of intelligent informatization control of traditional technology, gradual development of emerging technology will promote the widespread implementation of this technology in wastewater treatment with policy support from the government, fostering resource recycling and contributing to environmental protection.
期刊介绍：
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
