Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is the main natural resource that is necessary for sustainable development. With industrialization and urbanization, water pollution has become increasingly severe. Among contaminants, emerging contaminants (ECs) are of particular concern worldwide as they are widely applied, relatively stable and non-biodegradable, bioaccumulative, and toxic for human health and the environment. Unfortunately, conventional treatment plants are not effective in removing these pollutants. As a result, new separation techniques and materials for the removal of ECs have attracted significant research attention.
This Special Issue of the Separations journal invites original and review articles on advanced removal and separation techniques developed for emerging contaminants in water and wastewater. The scope may cover developing new materials or processes, adsorption, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, oxidation, floatation and coagulation, and biological-based systems.
We are happy to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue of Separations. Full research, reviews, and communication articles are all welcomed.

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.
