Recent Advances in Environmental Pollution Control and Coal Combustion

This special issue belongs to the section “Energy Systems“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

When facing energy and environmental challenges, people should spare no efforts to alter the production mode towards a sustainable direction, and it is urgent to develop pollution control technology to address the pollutants.

Recently, achievements in the application of clean coal combustion and environmental pollution control have been realized by the new combustion technologies and pollution control technologies. New combustion technologies, such as chemical looping combustion (CLC), oxy-fuel combustion (O2/CO2), and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), etc., have achieved clean combustion and efficient production with fewer pollutions. However, a lot of work is still needed to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Clean Coal Combustion and Environmental Pollution Control Technologies” seeks high-quality reviews and research works that involve Clean Coal Combustion and Environmental Pollution Control. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Chemical looping combustion (CLC)
  • Oxy-fuel combustion (O2/CO2)
  • Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle(IGCC)
  • CO2 capture, utilization and storage
  • Emission of combustion pollutants
  • Catalytic combustion
  • Clean Coal Technologies

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 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.
