Green Particle Technologies: Processes and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Particle technology refers to science and technology associated with the handling and processing of particles and powders. These processes involve the formation, modification, separation, storage, transport, characterization, safety and application of particulate materials. In these processes, no matter wet or dry, one or more of the materials concerned are in the form of particles, with sizes ranging from nanometers to centimeters. Particle technology comes from and applies to almost all industries, from chemical, petrochemical, agricultural, food, pharmaceutical, mineral and civil engineering, to advanced materials, energy and environment, to name a few. Along with increasingly stringent environmental legislation and requirements, more and more eco-friendly materials, processes and products are emerging, with pristine technologies involved. New knowledge in green particle technology is undoubtedly advancing the current state of the art in all these industries to a new level. As such, it would be beneficial to both industrial and academic communities to gather recent research findings in the topic of “Green particle technologies”, on the platform of the journal Processes.

The aim of this Special Issue on “Green particle technologies：processes and applications” is to uncover the most recent advancements in the development of green particle technologies, seeking novel contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Green processes on the synthesis and formation of particles;
• Green processes on the modification of particles;
• Green processes of particle handling and operations;
• The use of green materials in particle-related products;
• The application of particle technology in the production of green products;
• Processes on treatment of waste/harmful particles;
• New characterization methods, techniques and indications towards green particulate materials and products.

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.
