Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In our rapidly evolving world, the challenge of maintaining clean water and soil resources has never been more critical. Industrial advancements, urbanization, and the continuous introduction of novel chemicals into our environment have led to the emergence of new pollutants that pose significant threats to our ecosystems and human health.
The focus of our Special Issue, "Adsorption and Remediation of Emerging Pollutants from Water and Soil", is to highlight cutting-edge research and developments in the field of environmental science, particularly concerning the latest methodologies and technologies employed in the adsorption and remediation of the emerging pollutants including persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, antibiotics, and microplastics. We aim to compile a comprehensive collection of papers that shed light on novel adsorbents, innovative remediation techniques, and the mechanisms underlying the effective removal of pollutants from water and soil environments.
We are calling for submissions from researchers, scholars, and practitioners who are working at the forefront of environmental science and engineering. We welcome original research articles that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel adsorbents for the efficient removal of emerging pollutants;
- Advanced oxidation processes for water and soil remediation;
- Bioremediation strategies and their effectiveness in pollutant removal;
- Nanotechnology applications in the detection and remediation of pollutants;
- The impact of emerging pollutants on ecosystems and human health.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for the dissemination of significant findings and the exchange of knowledge among researchers dedicated to protecting our environment from the adverse effects of emerging pollutants. Your contributions will undoubtedly enrich the scientific community's understanding and pave the way for innovative solutions to these pressing environmental challenges.

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.
