Advances in Separation and Purification Techniques
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing demand for environmental measures such as SDGs (sustainability development goals) and carbon neutrality, the importance of supplying a safe and stable resource supply is increasing. Efficient and highly accurate separation and purification technologies are indispensable for recovering useful resources with a low environmental load from difficult-to-treat ores and spent materials. In addition, effective separation technology for wastewater and exhaust gas generated in various resource refining processes is also indispensable. To accomplish them, we need the best mix of physical, physicochemical, and chemical separation technologies. It is also important to develop innovative separation technologies based on new ideas.
This Special Issue invites a wide range of research topics on innovative separation and purification technologies for utilizing unused resources and spent materials and environmental purification.

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