Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Industrialization has driven a rapid increase in environmental pollution, with a wide range of pollutants, including organic compounds, heavy metals, and microplastics, being discharged into ecosystems. These contaminants infiltrate water, air, and soil, leading to severe ecological degradation and posing significant risks to human health. To address this issue, diverse remediation strategies, such as physical, chemical, and biological methods, have been extensively studied and implemented for contaminant removal and ecological restoration. Furthermore, the recovery of valuable resources and energy from waste materials is gaining increasing importance in sustainable resource management.

Building on our successful collaborations, we are keen to launch a third volume of the existing Special Issues (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/coatings/special_issues/advanced_technology_environment_remediation and https://www.mdpi.com/journal/coatings/special_issues/LBW4QPW52R). We invite you to submit manuscripts in the form of complete research papers, short communications, or reviews. This Special Issue, titled “Advanced Technology in Environmental Remediation and Resource Utilization, 3rd Edition”, will present prominent advances in relation to advanced oxidation processes, environmental catalysis technology, environmental function materials, and resource reuse in the environment.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Environmental remediation;
  • Resource utilization;
  • Advanced oxidation process;
  • Environmental catalysis;
  • Environmental function material.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
