Photoactive Materials for the Catalytic Decomposition of Water Pollutants

Dear Colleagues,

The special issue is dedicated to scientists working on widely understood issues related to study of use of UV and Vis light in the degradation of pollutants in waters, a place of photoactive materials for the treatment of rainwater and food waters, site of photolysis / photo-catalysis in wastewater treatment plants or water treatment plants as well as photo-degradation of drugs that are resistant to other degradation techniques in wastewater.

Therefore, construction of systems for photo-degradation, research on new catalytic systems, applications in natural systems as well as deep knowledge of the theoretical basis of these processes is an indispensable element for developing modern, sustainable methods of purification of water and stabilization of water in water system.

This special edition of Catalyst will be a good opportunity to catalog and systematize knowledge of these issues and would become a starting point for developing modern research procedures and their implementations in the environt frendly enengineering technology.

After all, Earth is a blue planet.

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.
