Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The bioelectrochemical treatment and purification of wastewater is one of the most attractive environmental research fields in the literature. A perspective that promotes this key interest is the possibility of sustainable and carbon neutralization processes, innovative microorganisms, and low-cost wastewater treatment. However, more attention is needed in designing efficient electrode/reactor configurations, process arrangements, and field-scale application research to achieve desirable performances and minimize costs. The analysis and optimization of the factors affecting the functioning of systems and their applications are relevant steps in determining the performance of the bioelectrochemical process and the purification of wastewater.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute your research article, communication, or review to the Special Issue dedicated to treatment processes, active microbes, electrode materials, and reactor design of bioelectrochemical treatment and purification of wastewater.

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.
