Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a rapidly rising separation technology from the 1960s, membrane separation technology is categorised by its multifaceted functionalities involving encompassing separation, concentration, purification, and refining processes. Notably, this technology is distinguished by its efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection, and ease of operation. The fundamental mechanism of this technology is the utilisation of the membrane's selective permeability to manipulate the movement of components across membrane under the influence of pressure, electric field, or temperature gradient. This process enables the separation, classification, purification, and enrichment components of purpose. Membrane technology also constitutes a significant unit of water treatment methods, achieving effective separation and concentration of resources, thereby promoting their recovery, reuse, and recycling. The title of this Special Issue is “Membrane Separation Process for Water Treatment”, aiming to seek original studies investigating new membrane materials, membrane process theory and methods, new technology and process of water treatment membranes, new pollutant removal, sustainable water treatment membrane technology, and other key topics. Contributions in the form of new insights and perspectives on this rapidly evolving field are invited.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
