Separation Processes in Membranes: Design, Synthesis and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Membrane science and technology have significantly contributed to many industrial as well as laboratory applications, as they provide clean technologies with facile operation, flexibility of design-efficient energy utilization, and decreased production costs. It is always imperative to augment the efficiency of separation processes consisting of membrane technology in chemical, energy, and environmental processes, such as gas separation for large-scale energy and the oil and gas industry (natural gas purification, CO₂ separation, air separation, hydrocarbons separations in the petrochemical industry, etc.), chemical separations, and water desalination and purification. The focus of this Special Issue is on highlighting recent innovations in membrane separation from synthesis to application. Therefore, we welcome various formats, including original contributions and review articles on membrane separation technology.

The following topics, but not limited to these, are welcome:

• Methods and preparation of functionalized membranes for separation technology;
• High-performance membranes for gas separations;
• Membrane filtration for water reclamation (oil/water separation);
• Membranes for the desalination of sea water;
• Functionalized membranes for fuel cell and Li-battery applications;
• Characteristic feature studies on membranes for separation technology.

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.
