Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The gasification of carbonaceous materials, such as coal, biomass, petroleum coke, etc., is an important technological route for clean and high-efficiency energy conversion. However, tar, fine particulate matter, AAEMs, sulfur, nitrogen, and chlorine-containing compounds generated from the gasification process threaten downstream equipment and applications. Catalytic gasification helps to improve efficiency, reduce tar content in syngas, regulate gas composition, and decrease investment costs; it thus has attracted increasing attention from researchers and the industry. This Special Issue focuses on topics such as H2-rich syngas production, the removal of AAEMs, sulfur, nitrogen, and chlorine-containing compounds, gasification kinetics and mechanisms, tar cracking and removal, reactor design, process modeling, economic evaluation, carbon footprint analysis, etc. Original research papers, review articles, and short communications are all welcome.

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. Catalysts 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 2200 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.
