Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been a global effort toward reducing the environmental impact of industry on the world and the environment. It is clear that the demand for new technologies of environmental management and sustainability is rapidly becoming a major economic market. Sustainable development of the Earth and humanity depends critically on how well we are going to deal with environmental challenges and improve energy efficiency. This Special Issue aims to gather innovative contributions that advance knowledge of fundamental processes related to the sustainability of water and wastewater, including the treatment and management of drinking water, natural water, seawater, produced water, and so on. Additionally, we would like to consider original work presenting the innovative use of chemicals and nanomaterials in new technologies and analytical characterizations regarding water resource management and water quality treatment.
We encourage the submission of both original research and review-type papers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Water and wastewater treatment, such as the applications of catalysts and adsorbents to treat contaminants;
- Desalination using reverse osmosis membranes and other materials;
- Resource recovery, including phosphate and nitrogen recovery in natural water;
- Produced water treatment, such as scale and corrosion control as well as radioactive treatment.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
