Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complexity of wastewater presents an enormous challenge for remediation with increasing loading of priority pollutants emerging from a variety of waste streams. This is coupled with increasing volumes of microplastics which provide a host to these priority pollutants, increasing the lifetime of the pollutant within a water stream. There is a great challenge to be addressed by various researchers within the wastewater treatment industry. Researchers investigating advanced methods of wastewater treatment have developed pathways to solve this problem; however, scaling up research from the laboratory to pilot scale continues to be a challenge. Advanced oxidation processes, reactor development and membrane technology are amongst a number of areas focsued on by researchers keen to solve this 21st century problem.
We invite papers to this Special Issue of Water pertaining to the following: research on advanced methods of wastewater treatment: methods to meet the complexity of emerging wastewater contaminants.

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.
