Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the most fundamental natural resources for life, water is indispensable to human beings, and the problem of water environmental pollution is receiving more attention. Wastewater treatment techniques globally play a critical role in purification of polluted effluents and achieving sustainable water use in order to solve the problem of water shortage. Among the different treatment methods, chemical methods show advantages including high efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. In this Special Issue, we will cover recent advances in the chemical treatment of wastewater. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, chemical methods in wastewater purification, mechanism studies at the interface of these processes, preparation and fit-for-purpose applications of novel functional materials, strengthening of the current wastewater treatment technologies, and other approaches related to wastewater chemical treatment techniques.

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. 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.
