Advanced Nitrogen Removal Process in Adsorption and Removal of Pollutants

Dear Colleagues,

The literature on wastewater provides substantial evidence on the harmful impact of wastewater derived from industrial and agricultural practices on human health and ecosystem safety. Addressing wastewater pollution will aid in the efficient and rational use of water resources and formulation of policies to adequately respond to water disasters across the world. Although both physicochemical technologies and biological-based denitrification are utilized to remove pollutants, the latter has emerged as a more promising method due to its higher efficiency, operational simplicity and lower maintenance cost compared to the former.

This Special Issue aims to publish research that investigates the reliability and efficiency of biotechnology in solving nitrogen or nutrient pollution in the environment, encompassing studies of the advanced nitrogen removal process in adsorption and removal of pollutants. We also encourage submissions of novel multidisciplinary research on physicochemical technologies assisting in effective pollutants removal. Treatment processes for wastewaters, biological waste treatment, pollutant sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment are potential topics of interest.

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.
