Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, wastewater has become a globally recognized issue, particularly in terms of its recalcitrant pollutants. As a result, new innovative physical and chemical technologies have been developed to promote water and sanitation cleanliness in line with circular economy principles.
Processes invites you to submit original research and critical review articles for publication in the “Physical and Chemical Removal of Recalcitrant Pollutants Using Novel Solids: Nanomaterials, Biochar, and Waste-Derived Biomaterials” Special Issue, after peer review.
This Special Issue will cover the sustainable physical and chemical removal of recalcitrant pollutants, including topics such as new and innovative nanomaterials, novel biochar, innovative uses of waste-derived biomaterials, circular economy promotion, reduction in fossil-derived plastics and waste-derived biomaterials, simulation, modeling, and techno-economic analyses.

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.
