Advances in Electromembrane Processes for Resource Recovery

Dear Colleagues,

Economic development and population growth increase the need for natural resources. As many of the raw materials are non-renewable, this puts a strain on the environment. One of the possible solutions is to recover the resources from the industrial waste waters. Electromembrane processes, which are based on the use of ion-exchange membranes placed in the electric field, can be used either directly for obtaining materials from waste, or as a part of integrated or hybrid systems designed for resource recovery.

This Special Issue of Membranes, with the theme “Advances in electromembrane processes for resource recovery”, aims at publishing the latest advances in the application of electromembrane processes in resource recovery. The topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Application of electrodialysis in recovery of minerals from saline waste waters;
• Recovery of specific ions by selective membrane capacitive deionization;
• Application of electromembrane processes in recovering heavy metals in the electroplating industry;
• Recovery of organic acids and bases using bipolar membranes.

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-anonymized 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.
