Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your manuscript to the Special Issue “Research Progress of Membrane Technology in Gas Separation Processes”. Membrane gas separation processes are a relatively recent addition to the suite of technologies used for industrial gas separation. Since their first introduction for nitrogen production from air and hydrogen recovery in the 1980s, improvements in membrane transport properties, manufacture, and module design have enabled the expansion of early markets and entry into new markets.
This Special Issue is devoted to recent progress in all aspects of membrane gas separation science and engineering, from the development of materials that can exceed the apparent upper bound for polymeric materials to the development of new configurations for process optimization. Both original research and review articles are sought that provide insight into the future for the field and suggest pathways for growth. Articles that emphasize sustainability in the development and use of membrane processes are of particular interest.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts.
Prof. Dr. Glenn Lipscomb
Guest Editor
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.
