Synthetic Membrane Separation Science and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

The progress of synthetic membranes for different efficient separation processes is seen as a tremendous advancement over the last decade thanks to remarkable improvements in membrane materials and modules engineering, optimized hybrid energy-efficient separation processes, significant breakthroughs in specific simulations and computational modeling including machine learning, well-organized and cooperative international networks, smart investments, and a series of successful development and implementation stories decisively moving towards the long-awaited circular green economy. We are pleased to invite you to submit your original research manuscript, critical review manuscript or short communication to this interesting Topical Collection on “Synthetic Membrane Separation Science and Technology”, which welcomes both theoretical and/or experimental studies dealing with, but not limited to, new or improved synthetic membranes for liquid, vapor and gas separation processes; related energy-efficient technologies for the recovery of resources and high-added value products;  fresh water production; wastewater reclamation and polishing; disinfection of waste streams; carbon capture; air purification; biogas upgrading; gas downstream operations; renewable energy generation; etc.

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.
