Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quality grade of water and soil are closely interconnected, and both are threatened by organic pollutants, meaning that systems with high-degradation efficiency and economically sustainable are required. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have already demonstrated their potential for wastewater and contaminated soils containing recalcitrant and toxic compounds. Chemical, photochemical, electrochemical, and sonochemical processes have been developed, but many efforts are still necessary to increase their applications. For a full exploitation of AOPs, the key factors that must be considered are catalytic activity, reactor configuration, and the composition of the treated system, with a deep attention to real operating conditions.
This Special Issue aims to enhance the understanding of AOPs for water and soil remediation, at different levels, from fundamentals to large-scale applications and their integration with other technologies in hybrid systems. Authors are encouraged to present their research, and both the experimental and numerical approaches are welcome, as well as review papers.

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.
