Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution, particularly in water, is a significant global concern due to its impact on human health and the ecosystem. The presence of various pollutants in wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, heavy metals, organic compounds, micro- and nanoplastics, surfactants, and pathogens, has resulted in severe consequences, including the contamination of drinking water sources, the destruction of aquatic habitats, and the spread of waterborne diseases.
To address this problem, numerous chemical technologies have been developed for the analysis and removal of pollutants in water, including advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, adsorption, and biological treatment, among others. These technologies have demonstrated great potential in effectively removing various types of pollutants from water, either alone or in combination with other methods.
This Special Issue invites original research papers and reviews reporting on recent progress in the development of chemical technologies for environmental analysis and pollution removal in water. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including the development of new methods for environmental analysis, the characterization of pollutants in water, the application of advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, and new adsorption materials for water treatment, as well as the evaluation of the performance and efficiency of these technologies. Additionally, focused review articles are welcome to examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing new applications in this field.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
