Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrialization and population growth have intensified water pollution, causing a demand for innovative solutions for sustainable water management. Electrochemical technologies, recognized for their efficiency in pollutant removal and resource recovery, are reshaping wastewater treatment paradigms. For the treatment of many environmental pollutants, such as denitrification and dehalogenation, oxygen-containing anions reduction, refractory organics degradation, heavy metal recovery, emerging pollutants removal, high salinity wastewater treatment, and so on, the electrochemical processes like electro-Fenton, electrooxidation, electroreduction, electrocoagulation, and hybrid systems are gaining traction due to their scalability and environmental compatibility. This Special Issue aims to consolidate cutting-edge research on electrochemical advancements, addressing critical challenges in water and wastewater treatment.
Studies on the electrochemical technologies (including electrocoagulation, electrodialysis, electrooxidation, electroreduction, electro-Fenton, etc.) for water and wastewater treatment, resource recovery from wastewater, environmental impact and sustainability, and integration with other treatment processes are welcomed. We invite original research, reviews, and case studies addressing these themes.

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.
