Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as a transformative class of solvents, enabling the development of innovative and sustainable processes across various chemical and industrial applications. Their unique physicochemical properties, such as negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and tunable solubility, make them particularly attractive for advanced technologies addressing challenges associated with conventional organic solvents.
This Special Issue, “Green Processes Based on Ionic Liquids for Advanced Chemical Technologies”, aims to showcase cutting-edge research on IL-based processes that contribute to sustainable and efficient chemical technologies. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and theoretical studies focusing on IL applications in extraction and separation techniques, catalytic transformations, biomass processing, waste valorization, energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, and the synthesis of advanced materials. Contributions addressing theoretical and computational insights, process optimization, scale-up strategies, and techno-economic or life-cycle assessments are also encouraged.
By gathering a diverse range of studies, this Special Issue will serve as a platform for advancing the understanding and practical implementation of IL-based processes, fostering innovation in green chemistry and sustainable engineering.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
