Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of global industry, the environmental pollution caused by wastewater discharge has raised extensive concerns. Moreover, increasingly strict discharge standards have prompted the research and development of novel wastewater treatment technologies. Meanwhile, concerning the severe issue of freshwater resource shortages, while dealing with sewage, water recovery has also become a new demand for wastewater-treatment technology. To meet this challenge, traditional centralized water treatment systems are in urgent requirement of transformation. As an alternative to traditional wastewater-treatment methods, membrane-based wastewater treatment processes have attracted much attention due to their inherent simplicity, scalable modular design, easy maintenance, and excellent separation efficiency. In recent years, membrane distillation technology has been widely explored in wastewater treatment, such as dyeing wastewater treatment, oil–water separation, and recovery of valuable components in wastewater, seawater, and brine. Compared with other membrane-based treatment methods, thermally driven membrane distillation exhibits extremely high pollutant removal rates.
In this regard, the present Special Issue will aim to provide a platform for researchers to exchange their novel ideas and share research outcomes related to membrane distillation and other suitable wastewater treatment technologies.
Topics of potential relevance to this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Membrane distillation;
- Pervaporation;
- Membrane-based processes;
- Advanced physicochemical and biological processes;
- Industrial wastewater treatment;
- Advanced desalination system ;
- Oil–water separation;
- Micropollutants removal;
- Landfill leachate treatment;
- Carbon footprint.
Authors are invited to submit their latest original results as full papers or short communications. Review articles, case-studies and perspectives are also welcomed.
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.
