Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quality of air and water is a crucial contemporary problem. The globalization economy and the rapid growth of new economic powers have given rise to new problems related to the environmental protection. The catalysis science has always given smart, green, and scale-up eco-friendly solutions. In the last year, together with the traditional and efficient catalytic thermal treatments, new and emerging techniques such as photothermal treatments or advanced oxidation processes (photocatalysis, Fenton and PhotoFenton, Ozonation, etc.) have provided good results both in air and in water purification.
Based on the above considerations, submissions to this Special Issue on “Heterogeneous Catalysis and Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) for Environmental Protection (VOCs Oxidation, Air and Water Purification)” are welcome in the form of original research papers, reviews or communications that highlight the state of research in the VOCs oxidation (catalytic oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation or photothermal catalytic oxidation); air purification; wastewater treatments (adsorption, membrane filtration, AOP, photocatalysis, Fenton and PhotoFenton, ozonation, etc.); development of new catalysts for environmental protection; correlation structure–activity of new catalysts applied for green solutions; new environmental friendly materials; characterization in “situ” of the oxidation processes; and supported and unsupported catalysts (metal oxide, MOF, zeolite, nanocatalyst, noble metal-based catalysts, mono and bimetallic catalysts, etc.) for environmental applications.

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 2200 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.
