Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of high-COD (chemical oxygen demand) organic waste water and the associated negative impacts remain the main challenges faced by human beings. Although various environmental technologies have been explored, most are not suitable for high-COD organic waste water. The low concentration of the high-COD organic components within water makes the recovery of organic components and the following treatment process energy-intensive. Hence, developing and emloying energy-efficient unit operation systems within chemical engineering for the pretreatment of water is of critical significance. This Special Issue aims to publish works on energy-efficient organic waste water pre-treatment processes by using chemical engineering unit operations, especially distillation, absortion, adsortion and extraction units.

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.
