Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiphase fluid separation plays a pivotal role in a wide range of industrial sectors, including petroleum and petrochemical engineering, energy conversion, chemical processing, environmental engineering, and emerging green technologies. With the increasing complexity of multiphase flow fields, characterized by strong phase interactions, interfacial dynamics, turbulence and phase transition phenomena, traditional separation approaches are facing growing technical and operational challenges.
This Special Issue, entitled ‘Advances in Multiphase Fluid Separation Technology’, aims to provide a comprehensive platform for disseminating recent theoretical, experimental, and computational advances in separation science and engineering within complex multiphase systems. We welcome contributions covering diverse separation mechanisms and devices, including, but not limited to, the following: cyclonic and centrifugal separation, flotation and bubble-based techniques, membrane and porous-media separation, electrostatic and acoustic methods, phase-interface regulation, and hybrid or intensified separation technologies. Studies addressing applications in petroleum and petrochemical industries, energy systems, environmental protection, carbon capture, and other industrial domains are particularly encouraged.
By integrating fundamental multiphase flow physics with innovative separation technologies and system-level optimization strategies, this Special Issue seeks to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and foster the development of high-efficiency, low-energy, and sustainable multiphase separation solutions for next-generation industrial processes.

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.
