Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nitrogen removal from wastewater is very important for water environment protection, and many countries and areas are enhancing nitrogen removal requirements. In wastewater treatment plants, removing nitrogen is very energy intensive and cost consuming. Moreover, nitrification and denitrification in wastewater treatment are important emission sources for nitrous oxide, which is an important greenhouse gas and a dominant ozone-depleting substance. Therefore, this Special Issue of Water will focus on “Nitrogen Removal and Nitrous Oxide Emission in Wastewater Treatment” and provide a platform for exhibiting and discussing new discoveries and developments.
Research topics in this Special Issue may include (but are not limited to) the following: (1) novel pathways and microbes for nitrogen transformation in wastewater treatment; (2) the kinetics and nitrifiers in extreme environments, e.g., low dissolved oxygen and acidic environments; (3) novel nitrogen removal processes for wastewater treatment; (4) emission mechanisms and control strategies of nitrous oxide during wastewater treatment; and (5) novel bioreactors for enhanced nitrogen removal.
Both original research articles and reviews are of interest.

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.
