Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The intensive development of analytical methods has resulted in an increased number of substances detected in environmental matrices called emerging pollutants. Although they are detected at relatively low concentrations, their persistence and frequent bioactivity makes them refractory pollutants. Nowadays, existing methods of water and wastewater treatment are ineffective in their removal; thus, there is a need to develop new effective and environmentally friendly methods for their removal. Among various proposed techniques, adsorption seems to be the solution.
Designing effective and environmentally friendly materials is of great importance nowadays. Adsorption is effective, cheap, and does not require any harsh conditions. Furthermore, the transformation of wastes into precious products such as sorbents meets the requirements of circular economy and sustainable development and enables the realization of several SD goals. Engineered materials dedicated to the removal of toxic, refractory pollutants may solve several environmental problems.
We are pleased to invite you to submit scientific articles, reviews, or short communications discussing the latest developments in the synthesis and application of adsorbents (carbonaceous and noncarbonaceous, and composites) and their application in water, air, or soil treatment or any other application, such as drug delivery systems, (bio)sensors, and others.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
