Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on membranes technology has established the versatility of these materials in a wide range of applications. For example, membrane technology is widely accepted to produce various qualities of water from surface water, well water, brackish water, and seawater. In addition, membrane technology is also used in industrial processes and industrial wastewater treatment, and, lately, membrane technology has moved into the area of treating secondary and tertiary municipal wastewater. However, the impact of new membranes has gained another dimension. For example, they are seen as devices for eliminating selected compounds or enantioselective membranes for chiral separations, which is one of the most challenging and important problems in bio-separation technology. Superior properties and tailored functionalities can be achieved from the chemical modification or physical integration with other materials, combining their usual features with the particular chemistry of the materials.
This Special Issue welcomes research and review articles as well as short communications that contribute to the broad spectrum of applications in advanced membranes materials for the elimination of emergency contaminants (dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, endocrine disruptors) from wastewater.

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.
