Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The special issue of Water aims to publish research involved electro-assisted technologies employed to purify drining water. The subjects are listed in the followings and not limited.
Drinking water is one of the most significant resources for our human beings to survive, manufact and develop. Beside the conventional processes are emplyed to clarify source water, various advaced technologies are adopted to remove persistent organic or inorganic chemicals that can pass through coagulation, sedmentaion, filtration and disinfection. Electro-assisted water treatment technologies attracted more and more attention including electro-coagulation, electro-filtration, electro-oxidation and other combined processes. Among those above process, electro-Fenton/utra-violet and other advanced oxidation process have outstanding perfomance in degradation of micro- persistant contaminants. Usually, the persitent contaminants include pesticide, food additives, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and others which ocurred in the water enviroment ubiquitously. Elctro-coagulation has advantages in treating source water with lower turbidity and temperature that chemical coagulation, and is employed to impove membrane performance. Electro-assisted dehalogenation occurred on cathode, which can remove chlorinated/brominated organic compounds through reduction. Dehalogenation favors the disinfection by-products abatement which formed in the disinfection process by using chlorine and pose hazard potential to human health.
To help the researchers get more knowledge on drinking water treatment by electro-assited technologies, and to promote academic exchange, please submit your recent research result.

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.
