Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Refractory organic contaminants, arising from daily life, agricultural activity, and industrial production, have become a global concern due to their persistence in water and toxicity to most living creatures. The efficient removal of these contaminants is thus highly demanded. Advanced oxidation technologies that generate reactive radicals comprise a promising barrier that can block contaminants from entering natural waters and the drinking water system. Nonetheless, these technologies are usually energy-intensive compared to traditional water treatment processes. Innovations and progress are being made continuously to improve the contaminant removal efficiency. This Special Issue is devoted to covering the recent advances in this respect. The new results and findings facilitate the sustainable control of the refractory organic contaminants in water and wastewater.
We will publish studies focused on either classical or novel advanced oxidation technologies (e.g., UV/H2O2, O3-MNBs), and the target contaminant will trace organic contaminants in water sources or recalcitrant organics from industrial wastewater. Both original research and review articles 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. 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.
