Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can be generally applied for the decontamination of water and wastewater. They are important in the effective removal of emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and other priority pollutants. AOPs can transform toxic biorecalcitrant compounds and recalcitrant wastewaters into more biodegradable byproducts. AOPs may possibly include photocatalysis (using solar radiation, LEDs), Fenton-based processes, electrochemical processes, wet air and catalytic wet peroxide oxidation and combinations with biological and membrane processes. The integration of AOPs with more established processes such as ozonation, filtration, adsorption and using renewable energy sources such as solar light can provide a major opportunity to reduce the overall effort of disinfection, water and wastewater treatment processes.
Within this context, we would like to invite you to contribute to this issue and to disseminate cutting-edge findings on water and wastewater decontamination.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
