Green and Sustainable Catalytic Process

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Catalysis as a discipline plays a decisive role in chemical process industries as catalytic reactions are central to the production of fuels and chemicals. Environmentally friendly catalysts with higher activity, selectivity, efficiency, and durability are continuously being developed, making chemical processes greener and more sustainable.

This Topic, “Green and Sustainable Catalytic Process”, focuses not only on catalyst preparation, characterization, and fundamental studies in the field of catalysis but also covers innovations in the field and potential industrial implementations. This Topic pertains (but is not limited) to the following:

• Biomass valorization;
• Waste valorization (e.g., CO₂, municipal and industrial waste);
• Catalyst preparation and valorization;
• Catalyst recycling;
• Catalytic reactions in nonconventional solvents (e.g., ionic liquids, supercritical solvents);
• Heterogeneous, homogeneous, enzymatic, and organocatalysis;
• Photo- and electrocatalysis;
• One-pot and tandem reactions;
• Alternative solvents;
• Process intensification (e.g., ultrasound, microwaves, plasma);
• The chemical reaction engineering of sustainable and green processes;
• Kinetic modeling;
• Reactor design;
• Technological advancements;
• Catalysis for renewable energy
• Lifecycle assessment and techno-economic analysis;
• Sustainable chemical products and fuels.

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.
