Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interest in advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) has increased in recent years, related to their capability in the removal of pollutants, compared with conventional water treatment processes. The high removal rates in homogenous and heterogeneous phase AOTs have been associated with the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (mainly hydroxyl radicals (HO•) but also other ROS have been identified), the main characteristic of the AOTs. The processes included in the AOTs group have different routes of ROS production as well as specific work conditions, and may involve different materials. All of them with a shared main characteristic, their high cost-efficiency in water treatment processes. This Special Issue aims to gather information on the current state-of-the-art related with the development of AOTs for water treatment all around the world, from basic research at lab scale level to full scale applications in water and wastewater treatment. Manuscripts dealing with the removal of emerging contaminants and/or the inactivation of highly resistant microorganisms, as well as those related with novel materials and reactor design for AOTs, are particularly 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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
