Features: Under the global advocacy of the concept of sustainable development, China has placed the construction of a resource-conserving society and the development of a circular economy as a model for economic growth at a high strategic position. The increasing scarcity of resources and energy has led people to continuously reflect on traditional wastewater and waste treatment technologies, giving rise to the idea and actions of developing sustainable wastewater and waste treatment technologies. Unlike traditional concepts, sustainable wastewater treatment technology first views wastewater as a carrier of resources and energy, and secondly emphasizes that the resource and energy consumption of sustainable technologies themselves should be as low as possible for the purpose of recovery. Based on this technical philosophy, this book first analyzes in detail the shortcomings of traditional wastewater treatment technologies. On this basis, it proposes the basic ideas for developing sustainable wastewater and waste treatment technologies and points out the corresponding technical development directions. This book is mainly compiled based on the author's recent domestic and international research achievements and references a large number of academic thoughts from international related academic literature. This book is not simply an introduction to technology but primarily reflects the international technical development trends under a new academic philosophy.
