Applications of Catalytic Ozonation in Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on applying catalytic ozonation in wastewater treatment, an advanced oxidation technology (AOT) that has shown remarkable efficacy in removing organic pollutants. Catalytic ozonation leverages the high reactivity of ozone, enhanced by catalysts, to break down complex contaminants into less harmful byproducts, significantly improving water quality. Despite its promising performance, the practical application of this technology is often hindered by factors such as reaction conditions, the presence of coexisting impurities, and the stability of catalysts. This issue addresses these challenges by exploring innovative strategies to optimize the catalytic processes and enhance efficiency. We encourage submissions investigating catalytic ozonation's underlying reaction mechanisms, novel catalysts' development, and case studies demonstrating successful applications in various wastewater matrices. Topics may include but are not limited to, the design and characterization of catalysts, synergistic effects in catalytic systems, and integrated approaches for sustainable wastewater 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. 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.
