Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of composite materials in wastewater treatment is an effective way to reduce water pollution. Composite materials are materials composed of two or more substances with different physical or chemical properties. These materials have excellent mechanical properties, high chemical stability, and good separation performance.
In wastewater treatment, composite materials can be used to adsorb and remove pollutants, such as heavy metals, organic pollutants, and nutrients. For example, activated carbon fibers, zeolites, and metal–organic frameworks are widely used adsorbents. These materials can adsorb pollutants through physical or chemical adsorption, thereby removing them from wastewater.
In addition, some composite materials can be used to construct membranes for wastewater treatment. These membranes can separate pollutants from water through filtration or reverse osmosis, thereby achieving wastewater treatment.
In conclusion, the application of composite materials in wastewater treatment has broad application prospects and development potential. We now invite you to contribute research articles, communications or reviews related to this Special Issue topic.

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.
