Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, air and water pollution are just two of the serious environmental problems facing mankind during the rapid development of industrialization. To address this issue, the application of catalysts in chemical oxidation/advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has emerged as a practice that has been paid increased attention in refractory pollutant abatement due to its practical and potential values in environmental purification.
Catalytic technology has undoubtedly led the scientific advancement of catalysts and catalytic processes over the past few decades. Inside, catalysis in chemical oxidation/AOPs plays an important role by degrading contaminants, ideally into carbon dioxide and water, without additional waste or byproducts. Thus, this process has promise as a technology to improve catalytic oxidation performance and shorten reaction times owing to its high efficiency and versatility, simplicity, and environmental compatibility.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute your research articles, communications, and reviews to this upcoming Special Issue of Separations, entitled “High-Efficiency Catalyst Preparation and Application in Environmental Purification” and dedicated to highlighting promising recent research and novel trends in the application of catalysts in chemical oxidation/AOPs for environmental purification (mainly for water or wastewater). Areas within the scope of this include but are not limited to, the design, discovery and preparation of novel catalysts, catalytic technologies for organic removal, as well as the deep exploration of the mechanism of catalysis.

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. Separations 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 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.
