Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this context of fast global changes, sustainable water treatment is essential. The biotechnological approaches play a very important role for the security of the water resources. Wastewater discharges are one source of pollution to ecosystems. Thus, environmental and economical sustainable technology is vital to achieve values of great quality. Granular sludge is a promising technology given the versatility for treating several kind of polluted-water. The compactness and robustness of granules in the tridimensional matrix allow the co-existence of high microbial diversity and the resistance against changes on influent composition. The design of technology, the inoculum origin, the raw water promote several environmentally friendly alternatives for a granular sludge tool.
This Special Issue seeks to focus the challenges, strengths, and opportunities found in the implementation of granular sludge technologies for water and wastewater.
We welcome original articles presenting novel findings on:
- Granular sludge reactors design;
- Anammox granular sludge;
- Aerobic granular sludge;
- Anaerobic granular sludge;
- Granular sludge coupled with other processes;
- Advance on biological processes on granular sludge.

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.
