Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic pollutants are widely present in the environment, posing significant threats to human health and ecosystems. Trace organic pollutants in urban wastewater are difficult to completely remove through conventional biochemical treatment processes and will inevitably enter receiving water bodies, thereby threatening water quality. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct advanced treatment of biochemically treated effluents, such as using advanced oxidation processes to remove trace organic compounds from the effluents, and investigate the transformation behavior and toxicity risks of these pollutants in water. However, the transformation mechanisms, kinetics, and influencing factors of trace organic pollutants in biochemically treated effluents remain insufficiently understood.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in our field, highlighting research gaps and paving the way for innovative solutions. It is not only an opportunity for us to contribute to the scientific community but also a platform to showcase our collective dedication to pushing the boundaries of understanding in this vital area of study.

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.
