Dear Colleagues,

Environmental pollution has raised significantly in recent years due to the increase in anthropogenic activities. The release of pollutants through these activities causes severe damage to the environment. These pollutants are well-mixed and persistent in soil, water, and air system. Therefore, suitable techniques are required to monitor, detect, and mitigate these contaminants from their source/environment. Several techniques such as physical, chemical, biological, and membrane-based, etc. have been adopted in the recent past for the treatment of these pollutants. However, the complete removal of a few specific pollutants from their source is challenging through these conventional techniques. Therefore, more advanced integrated processes are required to alleviate these pollutants from the environment. With the advancement of nanotechnology in recent years, nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties have exhibited outstanding accomplishments in several areas including water, wastewater, and air treatment.

In view of this, this Special Issue aims to cover the most recent progress and advances in the application of nanomaterials in the treatment of water, wastewater, and air. This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original research articles and reviews focusing on the application of nanoparticles in water, wastewater, and air treatment processes. The scope of this special issue covers but is not limited to the following aspects:

• Synthesis of nanomaterials for environmental application
• Application of nanomaterials in the degradation of pollutants from water
• Nanomaterials in wastewater treatment and resource recovery
• Nanomembranes for wastewater and air treatment
• Nanoadsorbent
• Nanocatalysts for VOCs removal
• Nanosensors for the detection of pollutants

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. 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.
