Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, rapid population growth and industrialization have increased the use of natural resources and the production of wastes. Intense pollution of the environment has led to the development and application of many biological as well as physicochemical technologies for wastewater treatment and waste management.
Moreover, the increased care for environmental protection and strict legislation, as well as circular economy implementation has led to the consideration of novel treatment technologies, recycling and reuse alternatives, and disposal control strategies for wastewater and waste.
The application of mathematical models capable of describing the processes considered in treatment/managements schemes comprise effective tools for the prediction and design of full-scale applications for wastewater and waste treatment.
On the basis of the above, we believe that this Special Issue will successfully report the recent advances and research findings regarding novel technologies for wastewater treatment and waste management towards environmental de-pollution and eventually human health protection.

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.
