Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthropogenic activities have aggravated the destruction of the ecological environment, and the consequences have seriously threatened the human living environment. However, the ecological technology used to remediate the damaged ecological environment has been proved to be very effective and low cost, and has attracted wide attention. Obviously, microorganisms may play an important role in remediating and improving disturbed ecosystems, and henceforth, can contribute to several of the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, the use of new functional materials for water treatment, such as nanomaterials, biochar, and photocatalysts, can not only enhance the effect of water remediation, but also inevitably bring about new environmental risks. Therefore, sustainable and environmentally friendly ecological restoration technology will still be an important research direction in the future.
Specific fields of interest include:
- Innovations in bioremediation and phytoremediation.
- Effective biological treatment technology for emerging pollutants in water and soil.
- Soil biogeochemical characteristics and their effects on the bioavailability of contaminants, and the soil–plant–microbe interactions from the perspective of soil remediation.
- New sustainable solutions through biotechnology used to enhance environmental remediation.
- Functional microorganisms in water and soil remediation.
- Coupling the technology of biotechnology and other new materials and technologies for environmental remediation.
- Water body or soil health risk assessment.
- CO2 conversion and utilization.

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.
