Catalytic Process Intensification for Green Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to present the Special Issue "Catalytic process intensification for green chemistry", in which we aim to highlight novel research on the implementation of a route toward the use of cleaner, safer and more energy-efficient process technology.

The negative environmental effects of the massive use of non-renewable resources has led the community to identify new renewable resources in an attempt to form a circular economy.

The development and enhancement of processes with high selectivity and low energy consumption through the introduction of new technologies is a key building block in the reconstruction of the chemical industry within the framework of so called “green chemistry”.

Furthermore, process intensification can encourage a transition towards the development of chemical processes with energy and process efficiency through the combination of different unit operations, such as reaction and separation, into a single piece of equipment. This Special Issue will include papers focused on a wide range on modern technologies used to produce a multitude of chemicals, fuels, commodity chemicals, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, materials and mathematical models.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
