Oxidative Processes in Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Oxidative processes are important elements for established and innovative water treatment as they provide simultaneous oxidation of chemicals and disinfection and can be applied to drinking water treatment, advanced wastewater treatment, as well as non-potable and potable reuse. However, even for established processes such as ozonation and UV/H₂O₂, reaction mechanisms and environmental impacts are not fully understood. Certain aspects of energy efficiency and the carbon footprint have become important factors in water treatment, which also need further research.

Numerous studies are published every year introducing new concepts and materials for advanced oxidation of pollutants. Comparative assessment studies are mandatory for identifying the most promising approaches for the practice of water treatment. We invite researchers to contribute experimental and computational studies as well as critical reviews to this Special Issue of Water with the following topics:

• Reaction mechanisms during oxidative water treatment
• Systematic understanding of transformation product formation and their persistence, mobility, and toxicity in the environment
• Efficiency and mechanism of pathogen and antibiotic microbial resistence removal in oxidative treatment processes
• Development of novel concepts and materials for advanced oxidation of trace organic chemicals
• Comparative assessment of different (advanced) oxidation processes

Please submit your abstracts of 150 - 300 words to the Special Issue website. Abstracts including title and author information will be reviewed by the guest editors, and listed online on the Special Issue website until the final manuscript is published.

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.
