Modern Methods of Water Purification

Dear Colleagues,

Clean water is the key to public health. In many countries around the world, there is no access to clean drinking water and no wastewater treatment is carried out, which leads to the pollution of natural water bodies. Therefore, proposals for highly effective and inexpensive methods of natural and wastewater purification are very relevant.

At the present stage, there is a huge number of methods available for the purification of waste and natural waters. However, unfortunately, the problem of water purification has not been fully resolved. Modern methods of purification include the use of various sorption materials (nanostructures, sorbents from waste, biosorbents, plant sorbents, etc.), membrane technologies (ultra- and mesofiltration, reverse osmosis, etc.), phylomediation technologies using higher aquatic plants (Eichhornia, duckweed, limnophila, etc.) and much more. The development and application of innovative methods of water purification will allow solving a number of environmental problems associated not only with clean water and public health, but also with the state of the environment as a whole.

This Special Issue entitled “Modern Methods of Water Purification" is aimed at systematizing modern technologies used around the world, which will provide the world community with clean water.

The topics are:

• Modern sorbents for natural and wastewater treatment;
• Innovative approaches to biological methods of natural and wastewater treatment;
• Use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the organization of systems for the treatment of natural and wastewater;
• Modern physical and chemical methods of natural and wastewater treatment;
• The use of closed systems in the treatment of natural and wastewater;
• Phytoremediation technologies in natural and wastewater treatment;
• Bioeconomic approaches to natural and 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.
