Call for Papers – Biofilm Technologies for Circular and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment

A Special Issue, ‘Biofilm Technologies for Circular and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery’ in the MDPI Water journal highlights emerging trends and state-of-the-art advances in biofilm-based systems as enabling technologies for low-carbon, circular wastewater management.

The journal are welcoming original research and review articles on process design, modeling, reactor development, material innovations, and data-driven approaches for process optimisation and scale-up in biofilm-based technologies.

• Biofilm-mediated pollutant degradation and resource recovery;
• Circular biofilm processes integrating CO₂ capture or waste valorisation;
• Fungal, algal, and mixed-species biofilms for sustainable bioprocessing;
• Life-cycle and techno-economic assessments of biofilm systems;
• Novel biofilm-based products from waste streams.
