Flue Gas Desulfurization, Denitrification, and CO₂ Capture

Dear Colleagues,

Flue gas is the exhaust gas that exits the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuel and waste materials. The origins of industrial flue gas mainly include coal-fired power plants, the metallurgy industry, cement production, glass manufacturing, the petrochemical industry, solid waste incineration, etc. Flue gas usually contains pollutants including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and other contaminants. Flue gas is one of the main anthropogenic causes of air pollution and global warming, which means a series of technology and equipment is needed for its purification.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide recent advances in the field of NOx removal, SOx removal, and CO₂ capture from flue gas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Pre-combustion and during-combustion technologies;
• Physiochemical and biological post-combustion technologies;
• Cost and environmental impacts of various technologies;
• Pilot-scale and full-scale case studies;
• Legislation regarding emission standards.

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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
