Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) and Nanomaterials in Water Treatment and Purification

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) was recently chosen by the EPA as their favorite and most beneficial advanced treatment for micro pollutants degradation in domestic, agricultural, and industrial wastewater. Additionally, the present of natural and artificial nano materials in various water resources is a controversial topic. On one hand, nanomaterials can effectively remove various pollutants in water and thus have been successfully applied in water and wastewater treatment; however, on the other hand, nanomaterials have already been indicated as a toxic, non-degradable persistent group of pollutants.

This Special Issue aims to consider the state-of-the-art manuscripts dealing and discussing these topics, representing cutting-edge results and innovative technologies constructed on basic science studies to applied science, semi and full pilots studies, and projects. Both academic and industrial views will be given for a better understanding of advanced oxidation processes and the fate of nanomaterials in water, to save our aquatic environments and protect human health, globally.

Authors with expertise in these topics are cordially invited to submit their manuscripts to this Special Issue of Materials. Significant original papers and review articles are welcome.

Prof. Dror Avisar

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
