Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is the most important resource used in daily routines for all living organisms. However, the high use of water has led to water scarcity worldwide. In addition, water is contaminated by various gases, microorganisms, and other toxins (chemicals and heavy metals) during rainfall and as water flows from one body of water to another, leading to water pollution. Hence, effective wastewater treatment is required for economic growth in the current water-resource-constrained era. Wastewater treatment methods should have the advantages of a compact design and should be highly effective in terms of both quality and cost. Researchers have been motivated to explore their ideas in nanomaterial science following advancements in the field. This Special Issue aims to cover the many different types of nanomaterials that can effectively treat contaminated water (containing metal toxins, and other organic and inorganic impurities) because of their special characteristics such as a larger surface area and the ability to function at low concentrations. Although approaches using nanostructured catalytic membranes, nanosorbents, and nano-photocatalysts are effective and environmentally friendly for removing pollutants from wastewater, there is a need for more energy and money invested into clean 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. Water 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 2600 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.
