Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermochemical conversion of solid wastes utilizes heat to transform waste materials into energy and other valuable products. This technology is seen as a promising solution to the dual challenges of waste management and sustainable energy production. It encompasses several distinct techniques, including depolymerization, torrefaction, pyrolysis, gasification, hydrothermal conversion, and combustion, each with its own specific applications and end products.
We welcome original contributions in the fields of thermochemical conversion of biomass and solid waste to this Special Issue, the scope of which includes, but is not limited to:
- Thermochemical conversion technologies;
- Kinetic analysis of themochemical conversion;
- Catalysis for solid waste conversion;
- The application of machine learning in this area;
We invite you to submit related papers, original research articles, and reviews to this Special Issue, “Advances in Thermochemical Conversion of Solid Wastes”.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
