Regeneration of Adsorbent by Catalytic Process II

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue “Regeneration of Adsorbent by Catalytic Process”.

Adsorption has become an interesting approach for the removal of pollutants and micropollutants of different nature in aqueous and gaseous streams. This process has several advantages, such as its easy handling and efficiency. However, huge quantities of spent adsorbents are generated, and these solids become an environmental problem in themselves. At present, the typical treatments for these hazardous solids (e.g., incineration) preclude their reuse. This increases the cost of the processes and it is not environmentally friendly. Consequently, the synthesis of effective adsorbents that can be regenerated, and the regeneration of the adsorbents by efficient processes have become a solution for this environmental concern.

This Special Issue is focused on the presentation of different approaches related to this issue, centering the attention on the catalytic processes used for the regeneration of the adsorbents.

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.
