Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and perspectives from academics, industry professionals, and researchers worldwide. Submissions should address, but are not limited to, the following key areas:
- Novel Solvent Systems: Synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of next-generation CO2 capture solvents, including water-lean solvents, deep eutectic solvents, ionic liquids, phase-change solvents, and hybrid systems.
- Advanced Process Intensification Techniques: Development and application of intensified equipment and methodologies, such as rotating packed beds, 3D-printed reactors, microreactors, and other compact contactors, for enhanced mass and heat transfer.
- Integrated Systems and Synergistic Approaches: Research on the combined application of advanced solvents and process intensification to achieve superior energy efficiency, cost reduction, and operational flexibility.
- Techno-Economic Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment: Comprehensive studies evaluating the economic viability, environmental footprint, and scalability of novel and intensified CO2 capture technologies.
- Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization: Advanced computational approaches for designing, predicting performance, and optimizing intensified capture processes and integrated systems.
- Industrial Applications and Case Studies: Practical implementations and pilot-scale demonstrations of CO2 capture solutions in hard-to-abate sectors (e.g., power generation, cement, steel, chemicals).
- Overcoming Operational Challenges: Strategies for mitigating solvent degradation, corrosion, aerosol formation, and high energy penalties in industrial settings.
- Policy, Regulatory, and Market Dynamics: Analysis of the economic drivers, policy frameworks (e.g., carbon pricing, subsidies, tax credits), regulatory challenges (e.g., permitting), and market opportunities influencing the development and deployment of industrial CO2

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.
