Special Issue Information
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:
- Heavy metal recovery from wastewater;
- Hydrogen production from seawater;
- In situ groundwater treatment;
- Control of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts;
- 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 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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
