Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of electrochemical membranes (EMFs) has gained popularity over the last few decades with the aim of providing cost-effective water treatment technologies. The membrane filtration (MF) configuration reduces mass transport limitation, and the combined process offers the degradation efficiency advantages of advanced electrochemical oxidation processes (EAOPs) with better control of fouling problems. They also offer high performance for micropollutant removal and complex wastewater treatment in general, with high flux and mineralization current efficiencies. They are considered a real breakthrough in EAOP and MF processes.
In this Special Issue, authors are invited to submit original papers and reviews on the topic of electrochemical membranes for micropollutant removal. Contributions may concern (i) the development of new REM materials and their characterization, (ii) the optimization of REM performance via surface modifications and/or the study of electrochemical and/or filtration parameters, (iii) the assessment and control of fouling in REM processes, (iv) the use of REMs for the treatment of specific micropollutants in synthetic solutions (with environmental considerations) and/or complex real wastewaters, etc.

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 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. Membranes 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.
