Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The goal of this Special Issue is to compile unique papers on wastewater treatment. We will consider fundamental and applied research papers spanning various subjects, as well as review papers with fresh viewpoints. Different contaminants, including inorganic and organic substances, oils, heavy metals, micro- and nanoplastics, paints, and surfactants, are widely released into water bodies because of rapid industrialization and excessive water usage. Even at very low quantities, these pollutants may have significant negative effects on the environment and human health. Consequently, their identification and treatment become crucial issues. The water business should ​​​​​​​create reliable and economical ways to produce enough clean water in sufficient quantities. This Special Issue compiles information from international research teams studying the monitoring and remediation of water contaminants and suggests further study in this field. For ​​​​​​​treating various contaminants, this Special Issue considers membrane filtration, adsorption, combination technologies, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs, including photocatalysis, electrochemical processes, Fenton-based approaches, and sonocatalysis). Additionally, extremely effective techniques based on nanotechnology are offering promising answers for the treatment of water and wastewater. To treat complex organic compounds, heavy metals, inorganic solutes, metal ions, viruses, and other pollutants found in groundwater, surface water, and/or industrial water, it is therefore highly encouraged to investigate the availability and application of diverse nanomaterials. Colleagues are encouraged to submit original research papers and reviews that discuss recent advancements in all facets of pollution detection and environmental 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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
