Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of Processes titled "Addressing Environmental Issues with Advanced Oxidation Technologies". Widely used compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, surfactants, personal care products, etc., cannot be properly treated by conventional wastewater treatment plants and are increasingly entering the environment. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop effective and sustainable treatment technologies to remove these recalcitrant pollutants and improve water quality.
This Special Issue seeks high-quality research and review articles that explore the use of Advanced Oxidation Technologies (AOTs) to address environmental issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Applications of AOTs for wastewater treatment;
- Removal of organic and inorganic pollutants using AOTs;
- Improvements in the efficiency of AOTs;
- Modelling and optimization of Advanced Oxidation Processes;
- Innovative reactor design and operation to intensify Advanced Oxidation Processes;
- Economic and environmental aspects of AOTs;
- Advances in electrochemical oxidation, cavitation, photocatalysis, ozone-based, Fenton-based, and related technologies.

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.
