Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For a long time, wastewater has been considered the culprit of environmental pollution. However, many recent studies have demonstrated huge potential in wastewater as a potential source for clean water, renewable energy, and nutrients. The aim of this Special Issue is, therefore, to harness the applicability of various membrane technologies individually or as a hybrid process for green and economical solutions in the simultaneous recovery of resources. All hydrophilic and hydrophobic membrane processes driven under hydraulic, electric, osmotic, or thermal pressure along with other biochemical technologies can be considered as possible technologies to valorize resources and highlight their possible role in the circular economy as well as in the water–energy–food nexus framework.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, recovery of nutrient and salt (nitrogen and phospherous), recovery of energy sources (biogas, methane, hydrogen, VFAs and biofuels production) and recovery of reusable wastewater for agriculture and industrial purpose. Authors are invited to submit their original research works, literature reviews, and short communications prepared on the application of various state-of-the-art membrane technologies on environmental sustainability.

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.
