Frontiers in Advanced Oxidation Process for Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This is a special issue on advanced oxidation processes for wastewater treatment. For detailed information on the journal, I refer you to the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph).

The survival and development of human society depend on water, and the global demand has increased by nearly eightfold over the period 1900~2010, driven by population growth, expanding irrigated croplands, economic development, and dietary shifts. Increased human activity threatens water quality. AOPs are based on the in situ generation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS, such as ·OH, SO₄^·−, ¹O², and O₂^·−), which consist of a majority of available technologies (e.g., Fenton, plasma, electron beam, electrolysis, ionizing radiation, ultrasound irradiation, and wet air oxidation), showing excellent potential in the efficient decomposition and satisfactory mineralization of toxic and biorefractory pollutants from the contaminated aqueous system. Researchers and practitioners in this field have also been investigating AOPs for wastewater treatment. This topical collection focuses on the subject area of advanced oxidation processes for wastewater treatment. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
