Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) in the Circular Economy
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we work towards the elimination of waste and the continual use of resources through a circular economy approach, technologies such as Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) will play a key enabling role in creating value and resources in areas such as water purification, wastewater reuse, clean energy production, carbon capture and green chemistry. This Topic bridges the gaps in catalysis and the circular economy, demonstrating the synergy and interdependence of these subject areas—only through interdisciplinary collaborations can we work to ensure pure and applied research addresses sustainable development and drives economic growth. We welcome papers from all remits of the above areas and AOPs, in particular, manuscripts describing novel catalysts and reactor configurations, the use of solar energy, scale-up studies, the conversion of waste to fuel and/or chemical precursors, water splitting, carbon dioxide sequestration, hydrogen production, life-cycle analysis, resource generation, water treatment and water reuse.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
