Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane technology has become an essential solution for water treatment and reuse, addressing the growing challenges of water scarcity and contamination. The commonly used membrane processes, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and membrane distillation, effectively remove contaminants from water, leading to significant improvements in water quality for further reclamations. In recent years, continuous innovations in membrane materials and module designs have further enhanced the performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of membrane-based water treatment and reuse systems.
In order to trace the research advances, we are pleased to invite researchers working in this field to share their studies on the application of membrane technology for water treatment and reuse. This Special Issue focuses on papers or review papers relating to membrane technology for water treatment and reuse, including, but not limited to, the following:
- RO/FO/NF/ED/UF/MF process for water treatment or reuse;
- Membrane distillation process for hypersaline water treatment;
- Electro-driven membrane technology;
- Controlling of membrane fouling or membrane wetting and the related mechanisms;
- Advanced materials for membrane fabrication;
- Removal of pollutants in wastewater;
- Novel hybrid membrane systems;
- Machine learning models for predicting membrane performance, fouling, etc.

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.
