Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of society in recent years, the contamination of aqueous environments is an urgent problem worldwide. Conventional wastewater treatment technologies have difficulty treating emerging and refractory pollutants. The development of effective technologies for water decontamination has become an urgent demand and a research hotspot. With the characteristics of strong oxidation ability and no secondary pollution, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been considered an efficient treatment technology. AOPs can decompose pollutants rapidly through the production of reactive oxygen species.
This Special Issue focuses on advanced oxidation technologies for wastewater treatment and environmental sustainability, for example, Fenton oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation, ozone oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation, and so on.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: advanced oxidation technologies based on ozone, persulfate, permanganate, chlorine, ferrate, hyperoxide, light, electricity, and ultrasound for the removal of emerging contaminants, refractory organics, and pathogenic microorganisms in aqueous solution.
The submission deadline is July 1st, 2023. You can send your manuscript at any point from now until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
