Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worsening environmental pollution and increasingly rigorous wastewater discharge standards have become the main challenges for the rapid development of global industry. Meanwhile, accelerating urbanization has also led to growing concern regarding fresh water supplies. To cope with these challenges and new demand, establishing advanced and novel technologies specializing in wastewater treatment, water recovery and contamination removal are urgently needed. As an attractive alternative to traditional wastewater treatment technology, membrane-based water treatment processes show unique potential for rapid separation with high selectivity and throughput. Furthermore, based on the commercially available materials in membrane preparation and the mature membrane modules design that enables their flexible application in a practical environment, the large-scale implementation of membrane-based processes offers a non-invasive and effective approach for wastewater treatment. In this regard, the present Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for researchers to exchange their novel ideas and share research outcomes related to Advanced Technologies for Water and Wastewater Treatment.

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. Water 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 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.
