Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Uncontrolled usage and exposure to minute concentrations of pesticides, especially from vegetables, fruits, food, and environmental matrices, may lead to food chain contaminations. Thus, systems of continuous monitoring and removal of pesticide residues in a variety of matrices are critical to protecting the lives of humans and other organisms within the ecosystem. As the direct determination and removal of pesticides is challenging due to their trace levels in the sample matrix, several strategies in the development of analytical techniques, including the sample preparation techniques and removal of pesticides, have been designed. These approaches will enhance the sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, and precision of the developed methods, respectively.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite your contributions to this Special Issue in the form of research articles, communications, or review papers. In order to be included, these works should be dedicated to the determination and removal of pesticide residues by green extraction.
Research related to the determination and removal of pesticides may include (but should not be limited to) the following subjects:
- Green sample preparation and removal methodologies
- Green materials, solvents, chemicals
- Automation in sample preparation and removal
- Scale-up of sample preparation and removal applications
- New generation sorbent technology

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.
