Research Advances of Removal of Pollutants by Advanced Oxidation Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Wastewater treatment plants produce wastes that contain many potential contaminants. Today, as a consequence of stricter legislations, more efficient wastewater treatment technologies are necessary. In this context, advances in chemical water and wastewater treatment have led to the continuous development of a range of processes denominated advanced oxidation technologies. These technologies have shown great potential in treating pollutants at low and high concentrations compared to conventional technologies such as adsorption, air stripping, and biodegradation and have found applications as diverse as industrial, groundwater, and municipal wastewater treatment, industrial sludge destruction, etc. This Special Issue is focused on recent advances in oxidation processes as alternative treatment methods for wastewater contaminants. Original research papers, reviews, and short reviews discussing hybrid processes, heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysis, persulphate oxidation, catalytic wet air oxidation, catalytic wet peroxide oxidation, advanced electrochemical oxidation technologies, and synthesis and characterization of new heterogeneous catalysts are invited for submission.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
