Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research in recent decades has shown the contamination of many water, soil, and air environments by anthropogenic organic compounds due to waste gas and wastewater discharge and inappropriate waste disposal. The effective removal of various organic pollutants is a major challenge in water, soil, and air treatment. Advanced chemical technologies (ACTs) have been considered a promising option because the highly reactive radicals such as hydroxyl, sulfate, chlorine, and carbon-centered radicals generated in ACTs can effectively oxidize a broad range of organic pollutants. Based on the above considerations, submissions to this Special Issue on “Advanced Chemical Technologies for Organic Pollutant Treatment” are welcome in the form of original research articles and reviews that highlight the state of research in wastewater treatments, soil remediation, and air purification.
This Special Issue will focus on studies on the mechanistic understanding, development, and implementation of ACTs for the removal of organic pollutants in water, soil, and air treatment, including ozone-, H2O2-, persulfate-, and peracetic acid-based ACTs, electricity-driven ACTs, and photocatalytic ACTs.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Chemical oxidation;
- Fenton-like;
- Ozone;
- Hydrogen peroxide;
- Persulfate;
- Peracetic acid;
- Electrochemical oxidation;
- Photocatalysis;
- Organic contaminants.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Lingshuai Kong

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
