Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, environment protection is one of the most urgent and significant global problems. Physical, physicochemical, and biological methods for the removal of environmental pollutants are well-developed. Despite this, it is necessary to develop efficient technologies to fulfill the gap between the contaminant removal capability of conventional methods and the limits of environmental regulations. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are promising methods for environmental remediation, since not only do they remove contaminants, they also directly mineralize organic pollutants to non/less harmful compounds through their oxidation with reactive oxygenated species (ROSs) such as hydroxyl radicals (HO•) or sulfate radicals ( SO4•−). The combination of AOPs, mainly with ozone (O3), catalysts, or UV irradiation, can significantly promote environmental remediation efficiency.
Based on the generation mechanism of ROSs and reaction conditions, AOPs can be categorized into different processes, including photocatalytic, electrochemical, catalytic, ozonation, Fenton, photo-Fenton, electro-Fenton, and sulfate-radical-based processes. This Special Issue welcomes your contribution through research observations and investigations on the application of AOPs for environmental remediation. The papers that will be accepted for this Special Issue include original studies as well as review/perspective articles.

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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
