Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Journal Issue on Membrane-Based Technology for Drinking Water Treatment aims to enable the development of more sustainable, higher-quality, lower-carbon drinking water production strategies. In the context of the water crisis (water quality crisis and water quantity crisis) and stricter drinking water quality standards, membrane technology is widely regarded as a key technology for solving the problem. We welcome articles on topics including but not limited to microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis membranes, catalytic membranes, and their related combined processes, from lab-scale and pilot scale to full sacle, suitable for low-carbon and safe potable water production. Another topic that we are interested in is the removal mechanisms and efficiency of membrane technologies and their coupling technologies for a series of emerging pollutants, including but not limited to perfluorinated compounds, emerging disinfection by-products, and microplastics. Finally, the operation management and optimization of production-level membrane units, especially big data optimization based on artificial intelligence and deep learning, is topic in which we are interested. Original research papers and critical reviews are sought for this Special Issue.

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. Membranes 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.
