Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have moved to a time where a sustainable approach to chemical engineering will play a critical role in the development of both chemical industry and all of humankind. Today energy and resource-saving environmentally friendly processes of chemical technology come to the fore in the global and national economies and energy economy due to the unstable situation at the energy market, since there are significant price fluctuations, and due to a tendency of prevention of global warming, i.e., reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Envisioning of novel industrial technologies and the development of existing ones have a great significance in improving energy efficiency and the environmental friendliness of industrial production, including such energy-intensive industries as chemical and petrochemical industries. In this regard, development and implementation of energy-efficient resource-saving processes in the chemical industry is currently a topical direction of fundamental and applied research in the field of green chemistry.
Theoretical and experimental papers reporting novel synthetic routes and chemical processes as well as modified syntheses and processes successfully redesigned in accordance with the principles of green chemistry are accepted for publication in the Special Issue of ChemEngineering. Papers focused on the problem of use of waste or byproducts as a resource to produce valuable chemicals as required by the modern concept of the circular economy are welcome. Additionally, authors can submit works proposing green chemistry technologies for the design of materials suitable for further recycling and reuse. We would very much appreciate your contribution in this Special Issue of ChemEngineering in the field of green chemistry.

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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.
