Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue entitled “Modeling and Prediction of the Performance of Membrane Processes, 2nd Edition” is to expand the knowledge of mathematical models for the prediction and simulation of membrane processes. Over the last few years, it has been reported that several non-ideal phenomena (i.e., polarization, scaling) can limit membrane operation. In order to overcome such limitations, mathematical models can be used to anticipate them and implement suitable technological solutions. Moreover, they can be used to optimize membrane process, system design for scaling up and cost estimation. The advances in research have allowed the improvement the well-established transport models, allowing researchers to predict membrane performance accurately.
The scope of this Special Issue is modeling and simulating standalone or hybrid membrane processes, including models from fundamental to applied approaches dealing with any kind of limitation, transport phenomena, prediction and/or optimization of membrane processes, membrane characterization, fouling and/or scaling prediction, and cost estimation under different scenarios.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, and short communications 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.
