Advanced Oxidation Processes for Efficient Removal of Organic Pollutants in Water Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The removal of organic pollutants from water has received widespread attention as they pose significant risks to human health. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are deemed to be one of the most promising technologies for the removal of organic contaminants, which can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with strong oxidation capability to decompose organic pollutants into smaller molecules or mineralize them into carbon oxide and water. ROS (such as O₂^−•, SO₄^−•, and •OH) are usually generated through the stimulation of oxidants (e.g., O₃, H₂O₂, and persulfate) through ultrasound, electricity, light, or catalysts. The three dimensions of efficiency, selectivity, and cost are becoming the global research focus for AOPs that aim for larger-scale industrial application for the removal of organic pollutants. This Special Issue aims to collect original, high-quality articles that explore the full potential of advanced oxidation technology for the removal of organic pollutants from water.

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. Organics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
