Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Membrane processes are separation processes, where the transported components can be separated employing a semipermeable polymeric or inorganic membrane with a particular structure. Membrane processes can generally occur without introducing additional chemicals to the feed stream and thus separate products according to their size, charges, and Gibbs hydration energy. Therefore, the membrane process, which is a type of rate-based separation using pressure (ΔP), electric (ΔE), and stream concentration (ΔC) as driving factors, has been widely utilized in the sectors of saltwater desalination, green chemical engineering, and wastewater treatment. This Special Issue aims to cover the latest achievements in innovative membrane materials and membrane processes. Original research and review papers with emphasis on, but not limited to, the following topics are welcome:

  1. Membrane processes for desalination, classification, and purification;
  2. Fabrication of new membrane materials;
  3. Membrane processes integration, optimization, and intensification;
  4. Membrane simulation and process modeling.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
