Application of Electrochemical Treatment in Water Purification

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical processes are a truly innovative type of process for water and wastewater treatment, including anodic oxidation, cathodic reduction, the electro-Fenton process, etc. Electrochemical treatment has good application prospects in the removal of refractory organics, emerging contaminants, and pathogenic microorganisms. In electrochemical treatment, it is important to understand the removal mechanisms of the pollutants, including the direct/indirect oxidation processes, the generation and reaction of various radicals, the transfer and transformation of the target pollutants, and dynamics and thermodynamic analysis. We welcome the application of electrochemical technology in actual water treatment, such as drinking water, municipal wastewater, and industrial wastewater, whose stability and limitations should be taken into account. Moreover, the energy consumption and cost assessment of electrochemical treatment compared to traditional technologies are also crucial for its practical applications.

In this context, for this Special Issue in Water, the Guest Editors will consider studies that reflect the forefront development of electrochemical technology in the field of water treatment. Submissions of original research or review articles encompassing the recent findings and advancements in this field are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
