Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water pollution of industrial, agricultural, and urban origin, due to dissolved and dispersed, organic and inorganic, toxic, and barely degradable pollutants, presents a growing global concern due to its serious effects on human health and the environment. As global water quality demands grow, wastewater treatment is becoming crucial. Conventional water treatments often cannot meet the growing quality demands for many types of wastewaters, so new alternatives have been developed and have become a very active research area. Our Special Issue aims to publish original research or review papers on the removal of pollutants from water through adsorption and degradation processes. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, various pollutants from different types of water, with diverse sorbents, focused both on the sorbents’ nature and the examination and improvement of sorption processes, as well as the removal of pollutants from all kinds of water by photochemical, electrochemical, plasma, Fenton (including photo-, electro-, and plasma-Fenton), and other advanced oxidation processes, including catalyzed ones (focused both on the catalysts and the catalytic process) and combination(s) of the named and/or other processes.

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.
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
