Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the latest developments in membrane desalination processes, including innovative integration with renewable energy sources and applications in sustainable technologies. Studies incorporating experimental assessments, advanced simulation and modeling, and techno-economic and lifecycle analyses are highly welcome. We also encourage contributions that explore novel applications of membrane separation processes, such as thermodynamic cycling and the extraction of valuable compounds from brines.
Topics of Interest:
- Membrane desalination;
- Hybrid approaches combining membrane separation processes with renewable energy sources;
- Case studies involving the application of membrane separation or membrane desalination processes;
- New applications of membrane separation processes;
- Advanced simulation and modeling of membrane separation or desalination processes;
- Techno-economic and lifecycle analyses of membrane desalination;
- New trends in the utilization of membrane separation processes (e.g., the recovery of valuable minerals or compounds).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
