Application of Advanced Oxidation Technology in Wastewater Purification

Dear Colleagues,

Ensuring the protection and sustainable utilization of water resources is paramount for meeting the needs of present and future generations, while also upholding political stability at both national and regional levels. A robust water policy must strive to maintain an adequate supply of high-quality water for both human consumption and environmental preservation. This entails effectively regulating key stressors, such as agricultural runoff, industrial discharge, and urban wastewater, while also promoting integrated water management practices. Our priority lies in the pursuit of innovative solutions that are not only cost-effective and economically viable but also environmentally sustainable. This Special Issue seeks to spotlight advancements in semiconductor materials, encompassing powders, and thin films, along with their processing, characterization, and diverse applications across various fields.

We are especially interested in research studies focusing on “reagent-free, waste-free” advanced oxidation processes, which hold promise for effective pollutant removal while minimizing environmental impact.

We invite researchers to contribute their insights and findings to this Special Issue, fostering collaborative efforts towards sustainable water management and environmental stewardship

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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
