Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous urban, industrial, and technological development of human beings has brought many advantages and challenges. One of the challenges is the serious environmental problem of contamination of water bodies and industrial wastewater by many substances/pollutants that can harm humans, flora, and fauna, even at low concentrations. Therefore, removing pollutants from water and wastewater is crucial to meet quality standards and develop a sustainable future.
Considering the recent development of innovative and sustainable water and wastewater treatment technologies, a Special Issue that provides a platform for exploring, discussing, and disseminating research trends in this field is needed.
This Special Issue invites the submission of original research papers, review papers, and short communications presenting and discussing the recent advancements and challenges in water and wastewater treatment technologies. These include, but are not limited to, ion exchange, adsorption, biosorption, membrane processes, electrochemical treatment, photocatalytic degradation, chemical oxidation, chemical precipitation, coagulation, heterogeneous catalysis, UV/H2O2, Fenton oxidation, activated sludge processes, aerobic/anaerobic biodegradation processes, biofilm processes, membrane bioreactors, emerging chemical treatment, and combined biological processes.

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. Processes 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 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.
