Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Large quantities of industrial wastewater are discharged from various chemical plants, e.g., pharmaceutical, insecticide, mining, and metallurgical factories, etc. There are kinds of pollutants in these wastewaters that can cause serious global or regional environmental disasters if they cannot be controlled properly. Generally, such discharges contain highly concentrated organic compounds and salts, and sometimes heavy metal ions or organometallics are involved. In this sense, to deal with them via energy and cost efficient technologies is very important. Therefore, researches on biological processes with functional bacteria, advanced oxidation processes (not limited to elecro, ultrasonic-, reagent-, photo- and thermal-oxidation), and other processes for pre-/post- treatment of industrial wastewaters should be conducted to help solving these environmental issues. On the other hand, we would also like to focus on the water shortage in some regions of the world. Prior to the reuse of industrial wastewaters, salt contents, heavy metal ions, and organometallics must be reduced to low levels in order to meet the standards for agricultural irrigation, municipal greening, and other industries. In the past decade or so, research approaches linking wastewater treatment and resource recovery have emerged; for example, capacitive deionization and hydrogen production from water electrolysis. All these techniques are associated with cation and anion removal, which are beneficial to the high value-added reuse of industrial wastewaters. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue, especially those with high academic standards coupled with outstanding treatment effects and resource recycling.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
