Novel Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

Dear Colleagues,

Wastewater, whether from domestic or industrial sources, provides an outstanding reservoir for the recovery of valuable nutrients and high-value inorganic elements, which are still too often largely wasted by those industrial processes that are currently well established from a technological point of view, and hence widespread worldwide. Nonetheless, the massive increase in world population occurred during the last few decades induced an increase in the quantity and quality of wastewater globally generated; as a consequence, the treatment of these effluents needs to meet increasingly stringent quality criteria aimed at minimizing the sanitary and environmental risk for receiving water bodies and habitats.

Therefore, in recent years, all those approaches that are focused on optimizing wastewater purification processes, prioritizing circular economy policies, are gaining more and more scientific relevance.

Indeed, this Special Issue will address the most recent innovative and sustainable proposals dealing not only with proper experimental processes, but also with methodological advances that may result in a wastewater valorization and an optimization of wastewater treatment processes from both an energetic and an environmental point of view.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
