Solution Chemistry in Complex Wastewater Separation and Purification

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing demand for water resources, applied to different industries, such as mining, oil flooding, metallurgical and pharmaceutical engineering, is motivating the development of new strategies for wastewater treatment. Especially for the complex wastewater containing various contaminants like fine colloidal particles, organic matter and heavy metals, which need to be treated by a multistage treatment process. During this process, the solution chemistry environment is considered to be a dominant factor affecting the pollutants properties, process conditions and equipment operation efficiency, which is closely related to the pollutants separation and purification efficiency. Therefore, Molecules plans to publish the Special Issue titled "Solution Chemistry in Complex Wastewater Separation and Purification" in 2023. This Special Issue aims to disseminate recent research on the solution chemistry theory applied in complex wastewater treatment. Contributions on the integration of wastewater solution chemistry with the development of novel materials, water-disposal reagents, new techniques and processes are welcome.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
