Source, Occurrence, Pathway, and Fate of Heavy Metals in the Water Environment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent developments in heavy metal fate and transport in the environment. In particular, research on mineral/water interfaces, redox chemistry, contaminant incorporation, and immobilization in host minerals and potential re-mobilization and any other mechanism dictating the fate and transport of heavy metals is within the scope of this Special Issue. Researchers that explore how local biogeochemistry affects impacts fate and transport, as well as researchers whose work links molecular-scale to macro- and field-scale applications and remediation are encouraged to submit. This Special Issue aims to consider a diverse array of contaminants, as well as diverse environmental 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
