Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clean water is one of the most essential natural resources on Earth, and people worldwide are facing a shortage of potable water. Conversely, wastewater can be regarded as a valuable resource if treated appropriately. Water recovery is a vital aspect of sustainable development, transforming wastewater into a source of valuable resources. With ongoing advancements in materials science, process engineering, and interdisciplinary approaches, wastewater treatment technologies represent a crucial challenge for future green and sustainable development and technological innovation through collaboration between academia and the industrial sector.
Researchers engaged in synthesis processes, developing advanced and efficient (nano)materials, optimizing techniques, and removing environmental pollutants of global concern are invited to submit their manuscripts for consideration in this Special Issue of Water. This Special Issue aims to tackle urgent issues related to the contamination of natural water resources and the treatment and reuse of wastewater through innovative solutions for aquatic environments. Contributing to this Special Issue provides a unique opportunity to address key challenges and explore innovative research directions within these rapidly evolving technologies. The Special Issue, titled “Advanced Materials for the Catalytic Removal of Emerging Pollutants from Water”, welcomes original research contributions as well as review papers.

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.
