Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membranes can be defined as selective barriers or interfaces that can compartmentalize different environments and organize transport (delivery of substrates / removal of products); thus, high-quality products can be obtained. Membrane reactors, contactors, and separators can be easily modified and adapted for specific objectives, which may range from water treatment/desalination to energy harvesting and storage. Membrane technologies are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and the use of chemicals is negligible, compared to the conventional processes. This Special Issue of ChemEngineering, “Advances in Membrane Processes”, will cover recent progress, constraints, and challenges in the development of membrane processes, including topics such as performance, new applications, economic perspective, process modeling, and monitoring at a molecular scale and the profiling of boundary layers, membrane preparation/design, characterization, fouling, aging, and recycling.

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.
