Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest achievements and trends in research within the field of wastewater treatment and micropollutant removal from water using integrated advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), biological treatment, and membrane filtration (MF). The subject matter of wastewater treatment and water recovery is still facing new challenges. The development of analytical methods has allowed for the detection of new threats resulting from the presence of hazardous substances at trace levels in the natural environment as a result of human activity. Such substances include, for example, pharmaceuticals and hormones. The integration of various techniques, such as biological processes, chemical oxidation, and membrane filtration, enables comprehensive and complete removal of hazardous micropollutants from wastewater and surface waters.
We are pleased to invite authors to publish their research or review analyses, which will be devoted to integrated processes of micropollutant removal from water and wastewater using biological processes, AOPs, and/or membrane filtration. Articles devoted to new technological solutions for industrial wastewater treatment and water recovery, based on the integration of biological processes/AOPs with membrane techniques, are also welcome.
We also hope to be able to present works covering AOPs/MF hybrid processes based on the new generation of nanocomposite membranes as well as works covering the utilization of concentrate from membrane filtration processes. We believe that the published works will contribute to the improvement of the safety of surface waters, which are the main source of drinking water for many societies.

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-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.
