Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of the Special Issue is devoted to the newest research trends in the field of environmental treatment techniques using zeolites and other adsorbent materials.
Natural zeolites and their modified forms, synthetic zeolites, and other adsorbent materials have received considerable attention in environmental remediation due to their remarkable physical and chemical properties. Water treatment with the aid of zeolites and adsorbent materials is one of the oldest applications; however, at the same time, there are many perspectives related to its future developments. One of the most promising soil remediation techniques is in situ stabilization using adsorbing amendments to incorporate and immobilize heavy metals to reduce their bioavailability and transfer to the biota. Zeolites and other adsorbent materials have potential in the purification and separation of gases based on their ability to act as molecular sieves. All these applications are based on porous characteristics which provide them with high adsorption capacities and ion exchangers properties.
The articles presented in this Special Issue of Materials will cover various topics ranging from reports on the zeolites and other porous materials’ characterization, modifications and synthesis and their applications in wastewater treatment, soil remediation, and purification and separation of gases.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
