Novel Materials/Technologies for the Adsorption and Removal of Antibiotics from Aqueous Solution

Dear Colleagues,

Today, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics do not only lead to antimicrobial resistance, but also to the pollution of human settlement environments. As a result, water pollution caused by antibiotics is becoming more and more significant. Recently, there has been a number of works showing that antibiotics could be removed from the water environment via novel adsorption or oxidation materials and novel physical/chemical/biological processes. These advancements in antibiotic-removal technology can provide new ideas and references for practical water treatment.

This Special Issue on “Novel Materials/Technologies for the Adsorption and Removal of Antibiotics from Aqueous Solution” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel materials and technologies for the removal of antibiotics from water. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Novel adsorption materials (ceramic, carbon and/or composites) and performance application;
• Novel physical/chemical/biological technologies for antibiotic removal;
• Antibiotic-removal process mechanism, application, and modeling;
• Traceability and risk assessment for antibiotic 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 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. Processes 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.
