Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wastewater is extensively generated on a daily basis from domestic and industrial sources across the globe, posing several challenges, including the water crisis and environmental deterioration. Thus, development of sustainable wastewater treatment/disinfection methods is sought after as a plausible solution to this problem. On the other hand, wastewater contains many resources such as organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, heavy metals, thermal energy, etc., and thus, the reuse of wastewater resources is becoming more and more attractive. The emergence of various environmental functional materials has bridged the gap between the demand for and supply of not only clean waters but also resources from wastewater, providing promising alternatives for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. However, advanced green materials with unique physicochemical properties, good economic benefits, stable pollution removals, high resource recoveries, and environmental friendliness are still highly demanded. This Special Issue focuses on the design, development, and application of green materials for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. The green materials can be nanoscale tailored materials, metal-free materials, metal/metal oxide materials, metal-organic frameworks, etc. In this frame, this Special Issue will give particular attention to studies on fundamentally sound novel green materials related to wastewater treatment and resource recovery with a great prospect for scaling up production and application.

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.
