Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a carbonaceous adsorbent with good performance, activated carbon has a developed pore structure, large specific surface area and high mechanical strength, and is widely used in the field of wastewater and waste gas purification. However, in recent years, the demand for carbonaceous adsorbents has gradually increased, and the prices of carbonaceous adsorbents prepared from traditional raw materials such as wood and coal have also risen. Therefore, the preparation of high-performance carbonaceous adsorbents from cheap raw materials has become a research hotspot.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to publish new advances in carbonaceous adsorbents. The focus of these developments may be related to the application of advanced processing techniques in the synthesis, manipulation and functionalization of carbonaceous materials and the detailed chemical and functional characterization of raw materials and composites, optimizing the properties of materials and composites for high-tech applications. I cordially invite any researchers willing to contribute to the field to submit their work to this Special Issue, "Preparation of Carbonaceous Adsorbent and Study of Its Interface Behavior".
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ranwen Ou
Guest Editor
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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
