Application of Electrochemical Technologies in Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical technologies have emerged as clean, promising, versatile, and sustainable approaches for treating various wastewater streams, particularly those with high concentrations of nutrients, organic matter, and emerging contaminants. Electrochemical approaches such as electrocoagulation, electro-oxidation, electroflotation, and electrodialysis offer significant advantages over conventional treatment methods, including compact design, operational flexibility, low chemical demand, and the ability to integrate with renewable energy sources. Recent advances in reactor design, electrode materials, hybrid systems, and process optimization have expanded the applicability of electrochemical treatments across municipal, industrial, and decentralized wastewater systems.

This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore the development, application, and performance evaluation of electrochemical technologies in the domain of wastewater treatment. Submissions focusing on mechanistic insights, modeling, pilot- or full-scale implementations, and techno-economic or environmental assessments are especially welcome. Contributions that emphasize innovative hybrid systems or integrate electrochemical processes with biological or physical treatments are also encouraged. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for advancing the understanding and practical implementation of electrochemical methods in water quality management.

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.
