Advanced Membrane Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Recycling

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid growth in the human population and the global economy, the water shortage problem has become increasingly aggravated. In the face of the ever-growing severe problem of water shortage, wastewater reuse, recycling and resource recovery are considered as a part of the solution to the problem. As compared with other wastewater treatment processes, membrane technology has distinct advantages such as simple operation, easy scale-up and no use of chemicals, and thus has been widely used in wastewater treatment and recycling. Although the implementation of membrane technologies for wastewater treatment and recycling has significantly increased, the application of membranes in wastewater treatment encounters various unsolved problems, such as membrane fouling.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest results (research article and reviews) in the Special Issue on “Advanced Membrane Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Recycling” of the journal Membranes. This Special Issue aims to seek contributions to assess the state of the art and future developments in the field of membrane tachnologies in wastewater treatment and recycling. Topics include (but not limited to) the following: membrane bioreactor applications, membrane fouling mechanisms, membrane fouling control, membrane fabrication and modification, fouling characterization, and various wastewater treatments.

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. 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.
