Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Facing the increasingly severe challenges of atmospheric pollution and climate change, toxic and harmful gases such as sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pose serious threats to public health, while greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) accelerate the trend of global warming. Gas-phase separation technology serves as a critical pathway for industrial flue gas purification and greenhouse gas emission reduction. This Special Issue/research direction focuses on the development and integration of high-efficiency gas-phase separation processes, in-depth analysis of separation mechanisms, computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based numerical simulation and process intensification, and the preparation and screening of low-cost functional materials. Through the synergistic innovation of processes and materials, we aim to significantly enhance the efficiency and economic viability of desulfurization, denitrification, VOCs recovery, and carbon capture, thereby driving the transformation of waste gas treatment from “end-of-pipe treatment” to “resource utilization.”

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. 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.
