Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on the sustainable and intelligent process control of pollutant treatment and purification technology, bioelectrochemical removal, chemical catalysis and distribution, traceability, and the ecological toxicology of typical and new emerging pollutants in the polluted environments is currently one of the most attractive research topics in this field. The key to promoting the development of this field lies in exploring sustainable and efficient pollution control and prevention technologies, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of the biological or chemical behavior of pollutants in these processes. However, when choosing control strategies and treatment methods, careful consideration must be given to their scientific validity and feasibility in order to achieve desirable performance and minimize the cost. The analysis and optimization of the factors affecting systems and their applications is a relevant step in determining the performance of the sustainable treatment and purification of typical and new emerging pollutants.
Based on this, we sincerely invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, sharing research articles, results, or professional comments on the development and application of environmental chemistry, biological technology, metabolic mechanisms and pollutant regulation, artificial intelligence control, and ecological toxicology, as well as pollutant purification applications.

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.
