Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world's industry is faced with an increasing amount of pollution generated to the environment as a result of intensive development and human activity. Particular attention is paid to those branches of industry that use large quantities of water in technological processes, and thus generate huge amounts of wastewater containing harmful and toxic substances that pose a direct threat to human health. Therefore, waste recycling and technologies considered waste as a source of raw materials, fuels and energy are of particular importance.
We are pleased to invite you to submit scientific articles, reviews and short communications discussing the latest developments in wastewater treatment technologies (adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, coagulation, flocculation, irradiation, membrane filtration), as well as waste recycling and recovery of valuable raw materials, such as precious metals or rare earths from spent catalysts or electronic waste.

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.
