Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydroprocesses in oil refining have been developed for more than 70 years. However, the interest to this area is still great. At present, due to the tightening of ecological requirements to motor fuels and deepening of oil refining in general, improvement of hydroprocesses is ever more pertinent. Different approaches to the improvement of hydroprocessing catalysts and engineering approaches to improve performance of catalysts are being developed. Catalyst improvement includes preparation methods, synthesis of new precursors of active components, synthesis of new supports or supports and catalysts with adjusted properties, etc. To optimize catalysts’ performance, various engineering solutions can be applied. Improvement of all the aspects of hydroprocessing is devoted to the production of ULS motor fuels by removing sulfur, nitrogen or aromatic compounds or to the increase of the yield of goal fractions like gasoline or diesel during hydrocracking or cracking processes. This Special Issue is focused on “Catalytic Hydroprocesses in Oil Refining”, with the aim to present the most recent and innovative scientific results in this field. In particular, research papers related to the development of specific hydroprocessing catalysts and improvement of hydroprocess performance in general are welcome in this Special Issue.

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 2700 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.
