Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Membrane Processes and Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment," investigates the integration of membrane separation technologies with advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment. Membrane separation techniques, including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration, offer high selectivity and effective contaminant removal. Meanwhile, AOPs, such as ozonation, photocatalysis, and electrochemical oxidation, are highly effective in degrading persistent pollutants. The hybridization of these two approaches—membrane–oxidation processes—has demonstrated promising results in enhancing removal efficiencies, reducing membrane fouling, and improving overall system performance. Nevertheless, the compatibility of these hybrid processes for actual wastewater treatment deserves great concern. Furthermore, the application of membrane-based processes, such as membrane bioreactors (MBRs), usually provides a synergistic combination of biological treatment and membrane filtration, having great potential in improving membrane–AOP hybrid systems for better resource recovery and water reuse applications. This Special Issue also emphasizes the development of novel membrane materials, which are crucial for overcoming the challenges associated with membrane–AOP hybrid systems in wastewater treatment and resource recovery. By presenting recent advancements in these areas, this issue aims to promote the development of effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally sustainable solutions for 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.
