Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel and advanced wastewater treatment technologies are revolutionizing the way we manage wastewater. These innovations use cutting-edge science and engineering to remove pollutants more effectively and efficiently while also recovering water, an invaluable resource.
Some of the most promising technologies include:
- Membrane bioreactors (MBRs), which use membranes to filter out pollutants, resulting in cleaner effluent;
- Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), which use strong oxidizing agents to break down recalcitrant and forever chemicals into harmless molecules;
- Electrochemical treatment, which uses electricity to remove pollutants;
- Emerging chemical treatment, which is are needed to treat recalcitrant and forever chemicals economically and efficiently;
- Resource recovery, which involves extracting valuable nutrients and energy from wastewater, reducing the need for fresh water and energy;
- Decentralized treatment systems, which can be used in remote areas or in small communities;
- Real-time monitoring and AI, which can be used to optimize wastewater treatment systems and reduce operational costs.
These technologies offer a promising way of addressing the challenges of water pollution, population growth, and climate change. By using these technologies, we can protect our environment, improve public health, and conserve water resources for future generations.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
