Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, one of humanity’s greatest challenges is the remediation of the planet—the elimination of the various pollutants that continually damage the planet’s diverse ecosystems. The search for systems that enable such remediation is a significant challenge; in this sense, adsorption systems are emerging as an alternative, with the added challenge of designing, optimizing, and modeling new adsorbent materials that facilitate the removal of both organic and inorganic pollutants.
This Special Issue aims to address recent research about the design, modeling, and optimization of the adsorption process for pollutant removal. The topic includes, but is not limited to:
- Desing of new adsorbent;
- Mesoporous Silica used to remove pollutants;
- MOFs used to remove pollutants;
- Biochar and activated carbon used to remove pollutants;
- Graphene used to remove pollutants;
- Bio adsorbent used to remove pollutants;
- Magnetic composites used to remove pollutants;
- Polymer materials used to remove pollutants and recover metal ions of an aqueous system;
- Adsorbent materials used to recover metal ions of an aqueous system;
- Modeling and optimization of the adsorption process.

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.
