Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid industrialization, urbanization, population growth, and other activities have led to a paucity of clean water in quality. The introduction of organic and inorganic pollutants into water systems from industrial and agricultural activities has caused major health impacts as well as environmental issues. Water pollution has attracted great attention among engineers and researchers. However, it is necessary to provide valuable and simple solutions to this phenomenon. Several techniques, including adsorption, membrane technologies, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and photodegradation, have been developed to achieve water treatment. Adsorbents like metal oxides and activated carbon are frequently used to remove contaminants. Towards this purpose, the efficient use of a variety of organic and inorganic nanocomposites and other materials is preferred and they can be considered alternative materials in this approach. Recent research has focused on developing novel, highly efficient nanocomposites as catalytic systems that are ecological and friendly. Due to their unique properties, it has shown extraordinary potential among the various catalytic materials explored. Advanced nanocomposites have several qualities such as a large surface area, varied porosity, enhanced chemical and thermal stability, and the ability to include a wide range of active species in their structure. The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the challenges and opportunities of advanced nanomaterials and developed technologies for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. The focus of this Special Issue is on new nanocomposites and advanced technologies, concepts, and process designs to sustainably remove emergent pollutants from wastewater. Additionally, authors may report on the feasibility of using the advanced and innovative nanomaterials and their economical approaches for full-scale applications.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
