Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current crisis of raw water imposes the advanced treatment of wastewater, respecting the requirements before reuse or disposal. The efficiency of wastewater treatments depends on certain factors that determine how to improve removal efficiency. The challenge today is to consider water treatment as a complex process that must be analyzed in a unitary manner, considering all interdependence among mechanical, physical, chemical, electrochemical, photocatalytical, biological, etc., processes.
The aim of a wastewater treatment plant is the production of desired quality water at the lowest cost, which means improving efficiency. This can be realized by: decreasing operating costs; increasing final water quality; improving treatment processes; minimizing the environmental, health, and safety impact; reducing waste; etc.
The main objectives of this Special Issue on “Efficiency Evaluation of Water Treatment” are to evaluate the efficiency of wastewater treatment and share discoveries to find efficient treatment methods and improve the instruments for evaluation, in order to obtain water that can be reused. To this end, the efficiency evaluation of new materials (membranes, adsorbents, catalysts/photocatalysts, coating materials, polymers, carbon nanotubes, chitosan, hydroxyapatite, etc.), filtration/microfiltration, ion exchangers resin, coagulation/flocculation, electrocoagulation, photocatalysis, osmosis, etc., shall be considered.

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.
