Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sorption is an important phenomenon in the removal of organic compounds from all kinds of streams. The fate of emerging contaminants in solid–water systems are governed by the sorption of these contaminants into solid media such as soil, sediments, and engineered adsorbents. Sorption processes include the accumulation on a two- or three-dimensional micro- and macro-surfaces profoundly influencing the fate (and transport) of these emerging contaminants. This relationship between the emerging contaminant(s) between the aqueous (liquid) and solid phases will influence the compound mobility, reactivity, distribution of the selected compound, availability, ability for phase transfer between the liquid–solid–gas phases, and toxicity concerns. For this Special Issue, the journal welcomes manuscripts that investigate chemical and physical phenomena in sequestration of emerging contaminants using a wide range of sorbents. In addition, we welcome models that predict these interactions. These models can be linear or non-linear in nature due to reasons such as competitive sorption.

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. Toxics 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.
