Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global water demand is expected to amount to an increase of 20–30% above the current level of water use, mainly due to rising demand in the industrial and domestic sectors. The size of the global Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies market is projected to grow from USD 272.5 billion in 2022 to USD 515.8 billion by 2028. Purification technologies for cleaning water include multi-effect evaporation, biological treatment, oxidation, precipitation, flocculation, membrane technology, etc. Among the different technologies, membrane technology can be regarded as one of the most effective and promising methods. In the future, to realize “carbon neutralization” in wastewater treatment and resource recovery, energy saving and water reuse will be the primary goals. Relevant research has progressed rapidly in recent years, including the development of new membrane materials, membrane preparation technology, and membrane processes, as well as other new strategies that combine membrane processes or other innovative technologies, etc. These new processes and technologies accelerate the realization of “carbon neutralization” in the field of wastewater treatment and water reuse.
This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, reviews, and tutorials on all aspects of advances in membrane technologies and strategies for water treatment and water reuse. Some of the topics include, but are not limited to, innovative methods for advanced nanotechnology, advanced membrane materials, novel membrane preparation, and process technology. Papers containing engineering ideas that are integrated with knowledge from other disciplines are also welcome. Environmental technologies that can be used to assess and remove emerging contaminants and cleaner sustainable processes are encouraged.

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.
