Trends in Environmental Applications of Advanced Oxidation Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are promising techniques, which can be used for various environmental applications. Currently, AOPs are receiving an extensive amount of interest from many researchers mainly due to their non-selective behavior and potential for pollutant oxidation, and lack of solid waste formation for the majority of them. However, there are some knowledge gaps in scientific literature, such as the efficiency and applicability of AOPs for real environmental water and/or wastewater matrices, effectiveness of AOPs for toxicity reduction, influence of environmental conditions and constituents on AOPs, cost of studied treatment methods, etc. This Special Issue invites original research papers as well as reviews focused on various environmental applications of AOPs, including but not limited to the following areas:

• Application of AOPs for removal of organic pollutants (e.g., CECs) from water matrices of diverse origin;
• AOPs for inactivation of microorganisms, e.g., viruses, bacteria, including those with antibiotic resistance, etc.;
• Application of AOPs for toxicity reduction;
• Life cycle assessment of AOPs;
• Operational conditions and economic assessment.

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
