Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the ever-increasing concern around sustainable development, shifting our technology from the current energy-intensive municipal wastewater treatment process to a bioenergy production, resource recovery and water reuse paradigm is highly desired. Membrane technology exhibits a promising application prospect in addressing the above demand due to its smaller footprint, high treatment capacity and high-quality effluent. This Special Issue aims to highlight state-of-the-art findings and achievements with regard to the application of membrane-based processes for sustainable municipal wastewater treatment and reuse. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. All invited submissions for the Special Issue will go through a rigorous peer-review process. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Membrane filtration pretreatment for organic carbon separation from municipal wastewater;
- Membrane bioreactor for biological redirection of organic carbon;
- Novel composite membrane material for nutrient recovery or removal;
- Membrane technology for advanced treatment, especially for micropollutant removal;
- Membrane fouling mechanism;
- Appropriate fouling mitigation strategy development;
- Novel flow-through membrane electrode for electrochemical treatment;
- Other low-carbon membrane-coupled treatment processes.

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.
