Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanofiltration is presently applied worldwide for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and water reclamation, for ultrapure water production, and in process industry niches such as organic solvent nanofiltration, pharmaceutical and biological applications, etc. The design, optimization, and scale-up of such a process still require the development of good predictive models. Through modeling, we gain a deeper understanding of main coupled phenomena while being able to predict performance more effectively. Advances in predictive model development allow determining the optimal process parameters and operating conditions in order to reach a high flux and high rejection rates with a minimal energy requirement.
This Special Issue on “Numerical Modeling and Performance Prediction of Nanofiltration” of the journal Membranes seeks contributions to assess the state-of-the art and future developments in the field of development of predictive models. Topics include but are not limited to mathematical modeling, new modeling approaches, artificial intelligence, transport models, and coupling phenomena. Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original papers and reviews 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.
