Environmental Catalysis and Air Pollution Control

Dear Colleagues,

Air quality is closely related to our health, and air pollution control is necessary to meet regulatory standards, reduce health risks, and benefit the environment. Environmental catalysis plays a key role in air pollution control, and the catalytic removal of typical air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and CO, is a hot topic. Different catalytic techniques and different catalysts are needed to control the emissions from a wide variety of mobile and stationary source processes. As the emission regulations become more and more stringent around the world, the development of advanced catalytic technology and novel catalysts becomes more desirable. Different characterization methods can provide insights into the chemistry occurring within catalysts and help understand how surface chemistry impacts performance, thus shedding light on the design of active, selective, and durable environmental catalysts.

This Special Issue on “Environmental Catalysis and Air Pollution Control” aims to discuss the advances in environmental catalysis for air pollution control among leading researchers and to suggest future directions for development. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Automotive exhaust catalysts;
• Catalytic removal of VOCs;
• DeNO_x catalysts;
• Photocatalysis.

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.
