Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit a manuscript to our Special Issue, “Advances in Water and Stormwater Networks: Modeling and Pollutant Degradation”.

Water is an international, cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access journal, featuring profound, cut-edge research papers and visionary perspectives. This journal welcomes contributions on all aspects of the science and technology of water reuse, water quality sensing, and water management.

Full methodical and/or experimental details must be provided for research articles. We encourage scientists to publish their research in as much detail as possible. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure or model set-up, if unable to be published as part of the main manuscript, can be deposited as supplementary materials.

A broad outline of the journal's scope includes:

  • Mathematical modeling, systems analysis and machine learning related to urban water networks and urban hydrological evaluation and prediction;
  • Remediation processes for pollutants in water and the degradation transfer process;
  • Contaminants in water (anthropogenic pollutants such as nanomaterials, microplastics, disinfection by-products, PPCPs, etc.) and water quality evaluation.

“Advances in Water and Stormwater Networks: Modeling and Pollutant Degradation” is a Special Issue of Water. This Special Issue belongs to the section “Urban Water Management”.

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.

In this research, the CuFeS2/MXene-modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was prepared to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove moxifloxacin (MOX) and its morphology; surface functional groups and hydrophilicity were also studied. The parameters of the catalytic membrane/PMS system were optimized, with an optimal loading of 4 mg/cm2 and a PMS dosage of 0.20 mM. High filtration pressure, alkaline conditions, and impurities in water could inhibit MOX removal. After continuous filtration, the removal efficiency of MOX using the catalytic membrane/PMS system and PVDF membrane was 68.2% and 9.9%, respectively. Batch filtration could remove 87.8% MOX by the extra 10 min contact time between the catalytic membrane and solution. During the filtration process, CuFeS2/MXene on the surface of the catalytic membrane activated PMS to produce SO4•−, HO•, and 1O2, and MOX was removed through adsorption and degradation. Taking humic acid (HA) as the model foulant, reversible fouling resistance in the catalytic membrane/PMS system was 22.8% of the PVDF membrane. The catalytic membrane/PMS system weakened the formation of the cake layer by oxidizing HA into smaller pollutants and followed the intermediate blocking cake filtration model. The novelty of this research was to develop a CuFeS2/MXene–PVDF membrane-activated PMS system and explore its application in antibiotics removal. Full article

In this study, an electrochemical-assisted ferric ion/persulfate (EC/Fe3+/PS) process was proposed to degrade bezafibrate (BZF), a widespread hypolipidemic drug, in water. By promoting the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ at the cathode, the introduction of an electric field successfully overcomes the limitation of non-regenerable Fe2+ inherent in Fe2+/PS systems, significantly improving the degradation efficiency of BZF. The predominant reactive species identified were •OH and SO4●−, with 1O2 also playing a role. Various key operational parameters were investigated and optimized, including the current intensity, Fe3+ dosage, PS concentration, and initial pH. With a current intensity of 50 mA, an Fe3+ concentration of 50 μΜ, a PS dosage of 50 μM, and an initial pH of 3, the degradation efficiency of BZF demonstrated an exceptional achievement, reaching up to 98.8% within 30 min. The influence of anions and humic acid was also assessed. An LC/TOF/MS analysis revealed four major degradation pathways of BZF: hydroxylation, amino bond cleavage, dechlorination, and fibrate chain removal. The acute and chronic toxicities of BZF and its degradation intermediates were then assessed using the ECOSAR program. These findings highlight the wide-ranging applications of the EC/Fe3+/PS system and its potential for remediating water contaminated with micropollutants. Full article
