Molecular Sieves: Synthesis, Characterization and Application (Concerning to the 6th Cycle of Lectures on Molecular Sieves)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be dedicated to Molecular Sieves concerning the annual Cycles of Lectures on Molecular Sieves held on 2013 to 2018 in Brazil (Natal, Campinas and Porto Alegre). These lectures addressed the synthesis, characterization, and application of molecular sieves materials such as zeolitic type materials, mesoporous materials (SBA-15, MCM-41, HMS, and similar), metal-organic framework structures (MOFs), porous carbons, and lamellar materials (pillared clays, HDL, and delaminated materials), and their applications in adsorption, catalysis, and separation process. This Special Issue will give a global vision of researchers from world-wide universities, research centers, and industry working on molecular sieves materials and sharing the latest results on their synthesis and characterization, giving rise a special interest in their applications in basic and industrial processes.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
