Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our world have undergone rapid economic development over the last century, but also faces challenging problems such as water pollution. With the introduction of new chemicals, which are water pollutants, innovation in water treatment techniques is highly desired to secure clean water sources and the safety of ecosystems. In addition, the vision of sustainability and carbon neutralization is to recover resources such as nutrients, chemicals, and energy from wastewater. The focus of our Special Issue, "Pollutant Removal and Nutrient/Energy Recovery from Wastewater", 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 degradation of pollutants from wastewater, as well as the separation of nutrients and recovery of energy during wastewater treatment to reduce carbon emission and energy costs for a more sustainable water treatment industry.
We are calling for submissions from researchers, scholars, and practitioners at the forefront of environmental science and engineering. We welcome original research articles that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
The adsorptive, oxidative, reductive and membrane-separative removal of pollutants from wastewater;
The separation and collection of nutrients from wastewater effluents;
The recovery of high-value chemicals from wastewater effluents;
The transformation of pollutants in wastewater into nutrients or useful chemicals;
The production of energy during wastewater purification.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for the dissemination of significant findings and the exchange of knowledge among researchers. Your contributions will undoubtedly enrich the scientific community's understanding and pave the way for innovative solutions to these pressing environmental challenges.

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.
