Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue mainly focuses on the degradation, immobilization, and remediation of typical environmental pollutants. Its scope covers emerging contaminants, conventional organic pollutants, heavy metals, and multi-media environmental pollution issues, involving functional materials, catalytic systems, biochemical pathways, and ecological restoration practices. The primary purpose is to explore advanced degradation theories and green technologies, and bridge fundamental research and engineering applications.
Compared with existing studies that mostly focus on a single pollutant or individual technology, this issue highlights the integration of research on degradation or immobilization mechanisms, green innovation, and sustainable development demands. It will provide a systematic, up-to-date collection of recent advances, supplement novel research insights, and deliver comprehensive references for future low-carbon pollution mitigation and sustainable environmental management.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
