Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane technology plays a crucial role in both desalination and wastewater treatment processes. Membrane processes rely on a selective permeable barrier to separate dissolved or suspended substances from wastewater. There are several types of membranes used in these applications, including reverse osmosis membranes, nanofiltration membranes, ultrafiltration membranes, microfiltration membranes, distillation membranes, and ion exchange membranes, among others. Physical, chemical, and biological methods are involved in wastewater treatment with desalination functions.
This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, reviews, and tutorials on all aspects of the relationship between desalination and wastewater treatment. Innovative advancements that upgrade lab-based discovery to field-based applications will be of particular interest. Papers containing engineering principles that are integrated with knowledge from other disciplines are also welcome. Environmental materials and technologies are used for monitoring, sensing, and assessing environmental contaminants, and cleaner sustainable processes are encouraged.

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. Water 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 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.
