Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for Resource Recovery and Disinfection Byproduct Control

Dear Colleagues,

Resource recovery represents the ultimate objective of water treatment and serves as a crucial component in achieving a circular economy. Additionally, disinfection byproduct control poses significant challenges in the field of water treatment. ‌In recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have achieved significant development in both resource recovery and disinfection byproduct control.

This Special Issue solicits contributions covering, but not limited to, cutting-edge research on AOPs in the following areas:‌

1. Heavy metal recovery from wastewater;
2. Hydrogen production from seawater;
3. In situ groundwater treatment;
4. Control of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts;
5. Control of halogenated disinfection byproducts.

The AOPs involved include ozone oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation, UV activation technology, catalytic membrane technology, electrochemical oxidation, and so on.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
