Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a one of the most studied group of technologies for water and wastewater treatment. The biggest potential comes from catalytic processes providing enhanced conversion of external oxidants to active radical species, increased reaction rates, and complete mineralization of the degraded organic compounds. In addition to catalytic AOPs based on the formation of hydroxyl radicals from oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and ozone, as well as photocatalytic approaches, recently, the attention of scientists has predominantly been focused on catalysts for the activation of persulfates (sulfate radicals-based AOPs—S-AOPs) as well as catalysts for cavitation-based AOPs.
This Special Issue is dedicated to novel achievements in the field of catalytic advanced oxidation processes. The contributions should be related to the listed topics:
- Catalytic processes in water and wastewater treatment
- Developments in Fenton-like AOPs
- Activation of Persulfates for AOPs
- Formation of sulfate radicals
- Catalytic cavitation-based AOPs (hydrodynamic cavitation and acoustic cavitation)
- Sonocatalysts
- Catalytic ozonation
- Photocatalysts—including visible light and UV applications
- Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO)
- Catalytic–electrochemical AOPs
- Carbon catalysts for AOPs
- Nanocatalysts
- Risk of by-product formation during water and wastewater treatment
- Developments in process control of catalytic AOPs (analytical methods, chromatographic, and spectroscopic techniques)
- Methods of catalysts characterization
- Post-process assessment of effluents toxicity
- Application of nanobubbles in AOPs
- Economic analysis of catalytic AOPs application and catalysts life cycle assessment (LCO)
- Industrial catalytic wastewater treatment
- Modelling and optimization of catalytic processes
- Green chemistry aspects in catalytic water and wastewater treatment

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
