Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation is one of the most critical and challenging steps for industrial processes, and zeolite membranes are potential candidates to be used for this application. Zeolites are microporous materials that possess molecular-sieving and selective-adsorption properties. The preparation of a zeolite membrane has advanced our understanding of continuous separation processes, as many milestones have been reached through research and experiments.
This Special Issue on “Zeolitic Membranes for Gas and Liquid Separation: Synthesis and Applications” focuses on the recent theoretical and experimental advances in materials chemistry and membrane synthesis, processing, characterization, simulation, and performance, including the issues faced in the design and growth of membranes for gas and liquid separation applications.
This Special Issue aims to highlight and promote recent advances and to create an overview of research activities on zeolitic membrane processes. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: zeolite and zeolitic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas and liquid separation; novel membrane materials; novel membrane formation methods; and modification techniques. Concerning applications, apart from gas separation and liquid separation (pervaporation and filtration), membrane reactors have also been an attractive research topic.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
