Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite submissions to this Special Issue of Separations. This Special Issue aims to collate the latest advances and cutting-edge applications of numerical simulations in separation science and engineering. We encourage submissions focusing on multiscale models, from the microscopic to the macroscopic level, which can provide profound insights into the fundamentals of mass, momentum, and energy transport. Furthermore, applied research dedicated to solving practical engineering challenges, such as process intensification, equipment design, scale-up effects, and system integration/optimization, is highly welcome.
We welcome original research articles and forward-looking perspectives that push the boundaries of numerical applications in separation science and engineering. Contributions should emphasize practical applications, theoretical advancements, or interdisciplinary approaches that address current challenges and future opportunities in the field.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations involved in separation processes.
- Modeling of coupled mass transfer and reaction processes.
- Numerical investigations into unit operations like chromatography, extraction, and adsorption.
- Design and screening of separation materials via molecular simulations.
- Development and application of multiscale and multiphysics models.
- Data-driven approaches integrating artificial intelligence with numerical modeling.
- Dynamic simulation, control, and optimization of separation processes.

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.
