Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the great importance of addressing, and ultimately fulfilling, the UN Sustainable Development Goals this century, there is hardly a more important and essential-to-life one than the realisation of clean water, whether potable, for cleaning, or, importantly, crop cultivation, irrigation, and, indeed, land management. In this, the cleaning of polluted water for consent-to-discharge purposes is especially important, in terms of agricultural and industrial wastewater, for water-body eco-preservation.
This Special Issue focusses on fresh and original molecular perspectives and principles towards new aspects of water treatment chemistry, such as, inter alia, gas hydrates, plasma processes, and biological channels for salt removal and ionic flux control. It will appeal to molecular scientists to provide new microscopic insights into the performance of advanced water treatment systems with important novel approaches based on sound, detailed molecular perspectives.

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.
