Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water quality is a leading currently environmental concern enrolled on priority environmental agendas. Water used for humans, animals and agriculture will only have enough quality if superficial and groundwater is not contaminated from untreated sewages discharges. One common pollutant family in the water are the dyes resulting from several industrial activities, mainly from textiles. Indeed, textile industries are responsible for this global environmental problem due to the high amount of dyes present in sewages and to the difficulty in their degradation. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are being used for the treatment of dye contaminated sewages. Moreover, AOP are being coupled to nanomaterials in order to increase the degradation yields.
Accordingly to the nanomaterials properties, they have a role on the dye degradation by adsorption, photocatalysis, chemical and biological treatment. Besides carbonaceous and titanium dioxide and lanthanum and bismuth titanates, many other nanomaterials and their modifications are being proposed for water remediation.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to cover the most recent advances in nanomaterials designed to be used in dye degradation in water or in the coupling of nanomaterials with AOP of water contaminated with dyes.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
