Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With over two billion people worldwide facing water scarcity, it is crucial to recognize the importance of clean water. Wastewater, often viewed as a waste product, can actually be a valuable resource if properly treated and reused. This Special Issue aims to address the urgent challenges related to natural water contamination and the treatment and reuse of wastewater. The focus of this Special Issue, “Recent Advances in Efficient Contaminant Removal Technologies for Wastewater”, is to showcase high-quality research on innovative approaches to managing aquatic environments, with a specific emphasis on advanced treatment methods and sustainable solutions. Some potential topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Homogeneous and heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes.
- Immobilized nanoparticles for contaminant removal.
- Adsorption processes.
- Hydrogel and aerogel technologies.
- Sustainable solutions such as biomass-based adsorbents, nature-based solutions, waste valorization, solar photocatalysis, LED lights for photocatalysis, and in situ synthesis of H2O2 for Fenton reactions.
- Production and toxicity of by-products.
- Molecular simulations.
- Pilot-scale systems.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
