Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane or membrane based technology is a well-established method commonly used in wastewater treatment and reuse. In the last decade, the research for new material membrane and membrane based composite technology have rocketed up, which is partially explained by the increasingly demanding standards and discharge limits imposed by legislation, the recognition of new and emerging contaminants and by the interest to reuse treated water in multiple applications. Now is also the time when the contribution of low carbon economy and sustainable development have been stepping up, going beyond the removal of various contaminants from wastewater, and going towards the recovery of economic interest-substances and the reuse of treated wastewater.
This special issue invites the submission of original research papers or review papers covering the latest findings and progresses in this field. We are keen to receive contributions reporting results with membrane or membrane based technology for various applications including wastewater treatment, drinking-water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse, and among others. Contributions related to membrane fouling and the effective counter measures, mathematical modeling in various biological treatment systems, as well as the recovery of substances from aqueous solution, including carbon, nutrients and critical and precious metals, will be also highly welcomed.

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.
