Polymer Inclusion Membrane in Industrial Application

Dear Colleagues, 

The membrane technology, a term that refers to a number of different processes using liquid membranes and in recent years also polymer inclusion membranes, has been recognized as the key technology for industrial applications. Further improvements and innovations are needed, especially in the chemical and morphological design of membrane materials, element and module design of membrane systems to enhance the process efficiency. The possibilities of improvement of the membrane material and morphology and combining membrane process with other forms of technology in a hybrid fashion are promising to industrial application.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to present novel approaches of membrane technologies in industrial applications. The scope of this Special Issue include polymer inclusion membranes applications in industry; combining membrane processes with other forms of technology; improvement of membrane selectivity and/or permeability, recovery; microstructures of membranes, process design, water and wastewater treatment; the possibility of membrane recycling and reusing, and novel applications.

This Special Issue is devoted to “Polymer Inclusion Membranes in Industrial Applications”. Authors are invited to submit their contributions in forms of research articles (based on either lab-scale or pilot-scale experiments, or simulation results), technical reporting, case studies, and critical reviews.

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.
