Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a broad application of physicochemical technologies for water and wastewater treatment, including adsorption, coagulation, photo/electrocatalytic process, catalytic oxidation/reduction, etc. In the physicochemical treatment, the investigation of the transfer and transformation rule, reaction mechanism and interaction process of typical pollutants at water–solid, solid–solid and water–gas–solid multiphase interfaces are very important for understanding the mechanism and influence of multi-interface processes on water quality change. The new methods for qualitative and quantitative characterization of micro-interfaces under complex conditions, and in situ characterization of the interface processes are under continuous development. The migration and transformation rules and regulation principles of pollutants in heterogeneous reaction processes, such as adsorption/desorption, oxidation/reduction, coagulation/flocculation and photo/electrocatalytic processes, and the technical principles of pollution control based on micro-interface processes, will lay a foundation for innovative principles and technologies of water purification.
In this context, the Guest Editors will consider papers dealing with interface and process in physicochemical methods applied to drinking water and municipal or industrial wastewater treatment. The manuscript submissions of original research studies or review articles encompassing the recent findings and advancements in this field are welcomed for this Special Issue in Water.

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. Water 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 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.
