Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates that, upon dehydration, form pores with a range of molecular sizes. These pores contain many cations and water molecules with high mobility. The pores created can be small (micropores, 0.3–0.5 nm), intermediate (mesopores, 0.5–0.7 nm), or large (0.7 nm and up) in size. Among synthetic zeolites, the most notable include LTA, MFI, and FAU zeolites. In contrast, there are naturally occurring zeolites, including clinoptilolite, chabazite, epistilbite, erionite, and mordenite. These zeolites are known to have small pores and have extensive applications in contemporary industries, including environmental remediation, biomedicine, gas separation, and catalysis.
This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research on zeolite synthesis, simulation, morphology, characterization, and emerging applications. Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Synthesis and Production: Novel fabrication methods, green synthesis approaches, and scale-up strategies for zeolites.
- Characterization and Simulation: Advanced techniques for structural and functional analysis, alongside computational modeling of zeolite behavior.
- Industrial and Environmental Applications: The utilization of zeolites in catalysis, adsorption, wastewater treatment, gas separation, and biomedical applications.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that provide new insights into zeolite science and technology. This Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals seeking the latest advancements in this dynamic field.

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. Processes 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 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.
