Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of industry and population growth, the problem of trace organic pollutants in the water is becoming increasingly serious. Traditional water treatment processes are often ineffective in removing these pollutants to meet the required standards. Advanced oxidation technologies, with their advantages of high efficiency, fast speed, and lack of selectivity, demonstrate good application prospects and market potential. Advanced oxidation technologies are based on the generation of strong oxidizing free radicals, such as sulfate radicals (SO4−·) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which decompose complex organic molecules into smaller substances or completely mineralize them into CO2 and H2O. Conventional advanced oxidation technologies include Fenton and Fenton-like technologies, ozone oxidation technology, photocatalysis, photo-Fenton, persulfate, and electrochemical oxidation. This Special Issue aims to review the current status and hazards of trace organic pollutants in water and the research progress of advanced oxidation technologies in treating trace organic pollutants, providing a new approach for future trace organic pollutant control.

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.
