Advances and New Directions of Crystallization Processes
This special issue belongs to the section "Materials Processes".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystallization and precipitation had been used widely over different industries as a separation and purification techniques in food, agricultural, and petrochemical environments, as well as in more laboratory-oriented industries, such as chemical and pharmaceutical, to obtain highly pure products. The actual social transformation from linear to a circular economy approach have posed new challenges where crystallization becomes a key process for success. Due to the demand of high-quality products, new developments on the process designs, modelling and measuring techniques have been done to better control supersaturation and, therefore, nucleation and growth. This Special Issue on “Advances and New Directions of Crystallization Processes” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances on crystallization technology. Topics include, but are not limited to: (i) development of novel measuring techniques, (ii) process integration towards lower energy consumption and zero liquid–solid discharge, and (iii) urban and water mining for recovery of materials.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
