Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in a Special Issue on “Emerging Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment”, to be published in Processes. Processes (ISSN 2227-9717; CODEN: PROCCO, Impact Factor: 2.753) is an international peer-reviewed open access journal on processes in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, materials, and related process/systems engineering research fields.
Rapid population growth and urbanization have led to an increase in wastewater generation and water scarcity worldwide. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop advanced water and wastewater processes that can meet stringent environmental regulations for protecting the natural environment and public health. There have been significant research efforts in developing innovative and environmentally sustainable technologies for building resilient water and wastewater infrastructures.
This Special Issue on “Emerging Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment” seeks high-quality research and review articles focusing on emerging physical, chemical, and biological processes for water and wastewater industries. We welcome experimental, mathematical modeling, techno-economic assessment, life-cycle assessment, and machine learning modeling studies covering scientific and engineering aspects of different emerging water and wastewater solutions. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Resource recovery-based wastewater technologies
- Energy-positive wastewater treatment
- Water–energy nexus
- Advanced oxidation processes for water treatment
- Novel water desalination technologies
- Biological wastewater treatment
- Advanced membrane technologies for water and wastewater treatment
- Smart recycling and reuse of used water
- Nanotechnologies for water treatment
- Application of machine learning for water and wastewater industries
- Electrochemical and bio-electrochemical technologies for wastewater treatment
- Natural wastewater treatment systems
- Water quality monitoring and modelling
- Advanced removal technologies for emerging contaminants

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. Processes 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 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.
