Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Applications of Membrane Filtration and Separation", is dedicated to advancing the science and technology of membrane filtration and separation by exploring key aspects such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, membrane technology, filtration process design, and innovative applications. It seeks contributions that assess the state of the art and future applications in these areas, including liquid/solid separation, gas/solid separation, oil–water emulsion separation, desalination, wastewater treatment, and membrane bioreactors, with a focus on improving performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
This Special Issue examines the performance of membrane filtration and separation under various operational conditions, offering insights into filtrate rate, solute rejection, power consumption, and utilization, while identifying factors that impact these indices. It also addresses challenges related to filtration fouling, proposing strategies to mitigate membrane fouling and enhance filtration performance.
Additionally, this Special Issue explores membrane fabrication and modification, emphasizing the role of membrane technologies in transportation, preparation, characterization, and other applications while considering sustainable development. By presenting innovative studies and industrial applications of membrane filtration and separation, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between research and practical deployment, encouraging collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. Authors are invited to submit their latest research findings or successful applications. Both original research papers and review articles are 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. Membranes 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.
