Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Removal of recalcitrant as well as emerging contaminants has attracted a significant amount of researcher interest both from an environmental and a public health point of view. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) rely on the formation of reactive oxygen species for redox reactions to achieve degradation of both organic and inorganic species as well as microorganisms present in aqueous systems or air. Generally, AOPs cover homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes, i.e., Fenton and photo-Fenton processes, ozone treatment, and photocatalysis in the absence/presence of chemical oxidizing agents such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and/or persulfate. This Special Issue will cover all important topics related to AOPs and photocatalytic oxidative processes in water treatment, with applications in all these important subjects, including, but not limited to, the following: i) practical applications of advanced oxidation processes, ii) heterogeneous catalytic and/or photo-catalytic processes, iii) pollutant abatement, and iv) microorganism inactivation.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
