Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is estimated that the rapid growth of the world population will lead to a world population of 8.5 billion by 2030, consequently increasing the treatment of wastewater and the production of sewage sludge. The question concerning the management of sewage sludge produced in wastewater treatment plants is also becoming increasingly important due to the evolution of legislation that requires greater attention to be paid to the minimization of the production and recovery of the resources contained therein.
This Special Issue aims to collect up-to-date papers that explore the latest advances and prospects about sewage sludge. Both research papers and review articles are welcome. Short communications of preliminary but significant results and case studies will also be considered. Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles focusing on this area.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Chemical-physical and microbiological characterization; treatment and valorization; advanced processes; minimization; options for reuse; technical and application solutions; contaminants of emerging concern; modelling.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
