Novel Oil–Water Separation Technologies Applied in Marine Environmental Science

Dear Colleagues,

Offshore oil and gas production, which is a significant source of petroleum, has recently been the subject of extensive concern. Organic pollutants dominated by hydrocarbons, in particular oil, have become a significant concern of researchers because of their threat to the marine ecosystem. The provision of attractive strategies is encouraged to answer the ecological menace caused by hydrocarbon exploitation in offshore oil and gas fields, to the benefit of both the economy and the environment.

Submissions of high-quality papers are encouraged. Works should be directly related to various aspects mentioned below. Novel techniques for study are encouraged. Possible topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Novel oil-water separation technologies applied in marine environmental science;
• Modeling and simulation;
• Case studies;
• Equipment and innovation;
• Countermeasures for oil separation on spill and produced water treatment;
• Impact assessment on marine environment.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
