Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to global economic development, human activities have generated excessive toxic organic and inorganic pollutants that have been released into the environment, causing several environmental public health issues. Industrial processes and agricultural production can produce pollutants that enter the soil, water, air, and agricultural products. These pollutants can accumulate in the environment and food, posing potential threats to food security and ecological and human health. Thus, there are increasing public concerns about the elimination and control of environmental pollutants.
The elimination of environmental pollutants mainly includes chemical catalytic degradation, catalytic degradation with new materials, and biodegradation in the environment. The degradation and removal of environmental pollutants are dependent on catalytic efficiency and method practicability. The elimination of pollutants is closely associated with pollutant varieties and the application of bioremediation methods. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include the biogeochemical processes of pollutant degradation, catalytic degradation of pollutants using new functional materials, photocatalytic degradation, advanced oxidation technology, pollutant removal by plants or microorganisms, and new methods or technologies for the removal of environmental pollutants. We wish to include target pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, environmental hormones, antibiotic resistance genes, and microplastics.
Submit your paper and select the Journal “Catalysts” and the Special Issue “Approaches to Catalysis: Elimination of Environmental Pollutants” via: MDPI submission system. Please contact the Guest Editor or the journal editor ([email protected]) for any queries. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
