Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on “Advanced Engineered Technologies for Water Remediation” focused on novel, efficient, sustainable and cost-effective water treatment technologies. Advanced engineered water treatment technologies use physical, chemical and biological processes in combination or separately. These technologies include membrane separations, ultraviolet disinfection, engineered adsorbent applications, advanced oxidation, ion exchange, advanced recycling approaches and integrated treatment technologies. This Special Issue welcomes studies on water treatment technologies for nutrients, PFAS, antibiotics, heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, microplastics and other emerging contaminants. Research on sustainable, modified, pilot-scale treatment systems for industrial and agricultural water treatment (wetlands, bioretention cells, etc.) is particularly encouraged. Studies involving sorbent transformation, nanocomposites, adsorption techniques, regenerative processes, materials reuse, hybrid technologies, and pilot-scale implementations are all encouraged. We will prioritize novel approaches designed to improve treatment performance, minimize adverse environmental effects, maximize pollution reduction, and encourage sustainable water management. This Special Issue aims to provide insight into next-generation water treatment technologies and their significance in safeguarding public health and water security, while highlighting innovative solutions that integrate modern research and real-world applications.

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-anonymized 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.
