Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aerobic granular sludge membrane bioreactor (AGMBR) is a novel combination of two innovations in wastewater engineering—aerobic granular sludge and membrane filtration. In AGMBR, aerobic granules biodegrade wastewater contaminants and membrane filtration is utilised to separate the treated effluent from the granules. AGMBR is applicable for wastewater treatment and reclamation. AGMBR provides many benefits over conventional treatment systems, including high effluent quality, low membrane fouling, high resilience to toxic chemicals, and low sludge production. Thus, AGMBR offers a sustainable and innovative wastewater treatment solution for both municipal and industrial applications.
This Special Issue of Membranes, entitled “Development and Optimization of Aerobic Granular Sludge Membrane Bioreactor (AGMBR)”, seeks contributions which assess the state-of-the-art and future developments in AGMBR wastewater treatment and reclamation technology. Topics include, but are not limited to, membrane fouling studies, analyses of extracellular polymeric substances, performance studies, microbial analysis, analyses of cost savings, granule characteristics in AGMBR, and industrial application studies. Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original papers and reviews are welcome.

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. Membranes 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.
