Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On my behalf and of my Co-Guest Editors I would like to introduce you and invite you to participate in the Special Issue entitled “Ionic Liquids as New Alternative Engineering Solvents.”
The constant evolution of science merged with the urgent need to develop sustainable products and processes has boosted the development of new alternative solvents for (bio)chemical and engineering process. Amongst these new alternative solvents are ionic liquids (ILs), which contain unique properties (high thermal stability, negligible vapor pressure, reduced flammability, and greener potential), and uncountable combinations between different cations and anions to achieve the final desired properties. Due to these features, ILs have been widely used in several fields such as electrochemistry, energy, catalysis, pharmaceutics, and separation processes.
Articles selected for this Special Issue will cover a broad range of scientific research in subjects where ILs have been emerging as a promising alternative to the existing solutions. Both industrial and academic research involving ILs in different areas of chemical engineering, such as catalysis, environment, electrochemistry, energy, electrochemistry, biotechnology, materials, pharmaceutics, and separation processes can be considered to publication. In addition to the mentioned subjects, papers dealing with new areas of science and technology that fit the broad scope and objectives of the Special Issue are encouraged.
With my best regards,
Dr. Nicole Sofia Morgado Vieira
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
