Biological Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

As the human population increases and environmental requirements become more stringent, the need for sustainable water and wastewater management systems that meet regulatory standards and reduce energy consumption has become a top priority in the water industry. In addition, recycling and recovery of nutrients and renewable energy production from wastewater are major components of future smart cities. This includes novel technologies, including advanced materials for pollution control, the use of microalgae for advanced wastewater treatment and biomass production, sustainable approaches for water and wastewater management, and renewable (bio)energy productions. There is an urgent need for a vision to synergistically explore the wide-ranging technological advances toward better serving urban residents for smart water and wastewater management. For this Special Issue, entitled “Biological Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment”, we invite papers on the recent advances in biological processes for smart water and wastewater treatment and management, such as symbiotic microalgae–bacterial processes, photo-biohydrogen production from wastewater, bioelectrochemical systems (e.g., MFC and MEC), and harmful algal bloom (HAB) control as well as sensor application to health monitoring of biological processes for wastewater treatment.

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.
