Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the pace of industrialization accelerates, the treatment and resource recovery of industrial wastewater have become critical issues for environmental protection and sustainable development. Electrochemical technology, as an efficient and environmentally friendly treatment method, has shown tremendous potential and unique advantages in the field of wastewater management. To further advance the development of electrochemical wastewater treatment technologies, we cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming "Electrochemical Separation and Recovery Technology in Wastewater Treatment" Special Issue. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research findings, innovative technologies, and practical applications in this dynamic area.
We invite you to contribute your original research articles and review papers that address topics including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Innovative electrochemical technologies: novel approaches and advancements in electrochemical separation and resource recovery for wastewater treatment, including electrocoagulation, electrodialysis, electrooxidation, and electroreduction. (2) Resource recovery from wastewater: studies on the recovery of valuable materials, energy, and water from industrial and municipal wastewater using electrochemical methods. (3) Environmental impact and sustainability: assessments of the environmental benefits and sustainability of electrochemical wastewater treatment, including life cycle analysis and cost–benefit analysis. (4) Integration with other treatment processes: research on the integration of electrochemical separation processes with other wastewater treatment technologies for enhanced performance and efficiency.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to featuring cutting-edge research that will drive progress in this important field.

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.
