Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water pollution is a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Benefiting from outstanding water quality, small footprints, and easy operation, membrane technology has achieved great attention in industrial separation and environmental protection. However, as “the Achilles heel” of membrane technology, membrane fouling is an inevitable issue. Therefore, it is urgent to develop advanced membrane materials and membrane processes for effective water pollution control and sustainable membrane fouling mitigation.
The Special Issue “New Advances in Membrane Separation Technology for Water Pollution Control and Membrane fouling mitigation” aims to contribute the latest advances of membrane separation technology. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Membranes for ion/molecule separation.
- Membrane separation technology for drinking water pollution control.
- Membrane separation technology for wastewater pollution control.
- Antifouling membrane materials.
- Membrane cleaning strategies.
- Self-cleaning membrane.
- Advanced membrane fouling control strategies.
- Catalytic membranes for enhanced separation and fouling control.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Membranes.

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.
