Process Intensification, Multiscale Simulation, and Optimization in Membrane Reactor Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in membrane reactor systems have opened new avenues for integrating reaction and separation processes, significantly enhancing efficiency, selectivity, and energy savings. This Special Issue on “Process Intensification, Multiscale Simulation, and Optimization in Membrane Reactor Engineering” aims to collect high-quality contributions focused on the design, modelling, and performance optimization of membrane reactors for chemical, environmental, and energy applications. We welcome original research and review articles in the following areas (including, but not limited to):

• Process intensification strategies via catalytic and non-catalytic membrane reactors;
• Multiscale simulation (molecular to process scale) of transport and reaction phenomena;
• Advanced materials for membrane reactors: dense, porous, dual-phase, or mixed matrix membranes;
• Integration of reaction engineering with membrane separation for hydrogen, syngas, CO₂, or ammonia-related processes;
• Dynamic modelling, control, and optimization in hybrid systems and reactive separations;
• Techno-economic analysis and lifecycle assessments of intensified membrane processes.

We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

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. 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.
