Advanced Engineering Design of Wastewater Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Water pollution control is one of the toughest challenges for humans. In addressing this problem, wastewater treatment plays a pivotal role. Recently, researchers have focused on different types of engineering of wastewater treatment with minimal cost and maximum efficiency. This Special Issue welcomes contributions on novel engineering designs that effectively treat wastewater, potentially including materials, technologies, processes, data analytics, etc. This topic in the field of wastewater treatment involves physical, chemical, and biological methods with an emphasis on engineering design, such as aerobic, anaerobic, electrochemical, membrane-based, and physical-chemical designs. Advanced designs for wastewater treatment with cleaner water, lower cost, fewer carbon emissions, and/or easier maintenance will be collected and shared.

This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, reviews, and tutorials on all aspects of the relationship between engineering and wastewater. Innovative advancements that upgrade lab-based discovery to field-based applications will be of particular interest. Papers containing engineering principles that are integrated with knowledge from other disciplines are also welcome. Environmental materials and technologies for monitoring, sensing, assessing environmental contaminants, and cleaner sustainable processes are encouraged.

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.
