Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The utilization of membrane technology is predominant in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater. Its large-scale application in engineering is highly dependent on the preparation of the membrane material, the development of the membrane process and the control of membrane fouling. The application of membrane-based technology in waster treatment fulfills the sustainable development goals for water reasource utlization. Thus, we encourge the submission of articles addressing recent progress and presenting advanced membrane techniques for water treatment to this Special Issue. This Special Issue also aims to cover the latest findings of researchers in this field, in order to illuminate directions for future research and provide technical parameters for engineering applications. Excellent and novel investigations focusing on topics such as membrane bioreactors, membrane-based water treatment, membrane fabrication, membrane fouling control, biotechnology, engineering application, etc., are also welcome in this Special Issue.

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.
