Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of membrane-based technologies has led to groundbreaking promising approaches to convert and reuse biomass residues. Membranes have been used to target products derived from lignocellulosic materials, leading to the development of processes centered around such molecules. Membranes are useful resources used to recover and purify some desired carbohydrates, such as glucose, xylose, or even xylooligosaccharides, as well as gaseous products from anaerobic conversion systems, which can be deployed to the development of biogas and the recovery of bio-H2, and many other useful molecules to biorefineries. The design of membranes and membrane-assisted processes can also be applied to the treatment and removal of toxic and/or pollutant compounds from aqueous, organic, or even gaseous effluents. In this sense, I invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Membranes on “Membranes in Biomass Waste Conversion and Reutillization”, in which I welcome articles that cover this wide topic. I will be considering significant contributions ranging from the basic understanding of membrane science and technology that can be derived from biomass waste conversion to the applied studies within the scope of this Special Issue. These can be applied to biofuels, bioproducts, bioremediation, effluent treatment, catalysis, material development, and the immobilization of enzymes and cells. I encourage the submission of any type of article that is considered by the journal, and I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Cristiano E. Rodrigues Reis

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 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.
