Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of industries, organic pollutants are being increasingly released into the environment. The presence of recalcitrant and emerging micropollutants in the environment (e.g., pharmaceuticals, personal care products, etc.) has potential negative impacts on human health and ecosystems. Therefore, wastewater treatment plays an important role. Among them, membrane-based technologies are recently being considered as effective methods for conventional water and wastewater remediation processes to achieve the increasing demands for clean water and to minimize the negative environmental effects. With the potential to bridge economic and sustainability gaps, membrane technology has reached the point where treated wastewater can be successfully reused for industrial, agricultural, and domestic purposes and offers many perspectives in wastewater treatment processes.
This Special Issue invites original research papers and reviews on the removal of pollutants from wastewater, involving novel methods and new materials in various aspects of wastewater treatment, with a special focus on wastewater treatment utilizing membrane technology.
Subject areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Membrane process;
- Advanced membrane separation;
- Ionic resource recovery;
- Ammonia nitrogen removal;
- Electro-driven membrane;
- Production of by-products during wastewater treatment;
- Removal of refractory organic pollutants in water;
- Other water treatment technologies, such as advanced oxidation processes, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and electrodialysis.

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. Water 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.
