Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (F-gases) contribute significantly to global warming due to their high global warming potential (GWP). This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research on separation and adsorption technologies tailored for the capture, purification, and resource utilization of non-CO2 GHGs.
Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and synthesis of novel adsorbents (e.g., MOFs, composites) for selective separation of CH4/N2, N2O, and F-gases.
- Advanced membrane materials and processes for energy-efficient recovery of non-CO2 GHGs from industrial emissions.
- Integration of separation technologies with catalytic conversion for valorization of captured gases (e.g., N2O-to-chemicals, biogas upgrading).
- Multi-scale modeling and machine learning for optimizing separation processes and material performance.
By bridging fundamental research and industrial applications, this Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share innovative solutions that address the urgent need for non-CO2 GHG management, supporting global climate mitigation strategies beyond CO2 reduction.

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.
