Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
with a growing world population, demand for water, food, and energy is increasing. Additionally, the deterioration in the quality of natural waters and the increasing demands placed on water for human consumption necessitate the use of modern separation techniques. Moreover, the transition to a closed-loop economy requires the development of innovative techniques and technological solutions in the water and wastewater industry. Membrane processes have become increasingly popular in recent years for treating water and wastewater due to the limited effectiveness of traditional treatment methods in dealing with the variety of contaminants present in the water supply. They are widely used in many industrial and environmental sectors for removing various pollutants. It is worth noting also that membranes can effectively treat solutions with varying pollutant concentrations. Therefore, I encourage the submission of articles on recent advances and advanced membrane processes for water and wastewater treatment for this Special Issue. The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the latest discoveries in this field, provide directions for future research, and offer technical parameters for engineering applications. Original research and review papers focusing on topics such as membrane-based water and wastewater treatment, membrane fabrication, membrane fouling control, membrane process simulation and modelling, and engineering applications in the water and wastewater sector are all welcome.

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.
