Purification Technology
A section of Separations (ISSN 2297-8739).
Section Information
Separations has launched a new Section “Purification Technology” to promote the publication of high-quality original research and review articles on basic and applied analytical and purification technology. This Section is dedicated to publishing experimental studies and theoretical analyses of phenomena arising from separation and purification, as well as process development. Preparation and modification of materials used in separation and/or purification can be considered. This Section also welcomes contributions on novel methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering. The purification technology includes any separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, with the exception of methods intended for analytical purposes.
Contributions to this Section should be always related to new or improved separation methods or principles. Research articles aiming at solving separation problems encountered in emerging technologies including biotechnology and green technology will also be welcome. Review papers should provide a critical assessment of the state of the art in a specific topic related to novel technologies in separation and purification. All manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to be considered for publication in this Section.
