Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology, an emerging and innovative technology in scientific research, has been able to address majority of challenges the world is facing in regard to nanomedicine, electrochemistry, agriculture, waste water treatment, pollutant remediation, etc. Its association with chemistry, materials sciences, and engineering surprisingly helps in the expansion of a green technology. Organometallic chemistry, which is popular in the synthesis of metal-based heterocyclic catalysts, is known to accelerate the development of environmentally friendly, non-toxic compounds due to their high reactivity, stability, and selectivity. Additionally, carbon-based materials from natural polymeric materials have been used for the manufacturing of less expensive electro- or photo-catalyst materials.
This Special Issue, which spreads into different branches of scientific areas as discussed above, is aimed toward the innovative applications beyond the state of the arts in several scientific areas, with particular interest in improving separation processes. Related application fields include analytical applications, isolation and purification of drug molecules/bio-active compounds, water purification, nanoparticles separations, separation of viruses/bacteria, etc. With original research articles or reviews based on self-by-design and eco-friendly approaches, we hope to identify and fill the gap of knowledge in this domain of research. Together, we can make sure innovative approaches help to improve the lives of people around the world.

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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
