Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polluted streams, both in gas and liquid phase, constitute a potential menace for the environment and living organisms. Among the different technologies available for the purification of streams, adsorption is still one of the most widely used due to its simplicity, low cost, and high efficiency for the removal of a wide variety of hazardous pollutants.
Among the different types of adsorbents, carbon-based materials are probably the most extensively researched owing to their unique and tunable characteristics. This Special Issue is focused on the use of any type of carbon materials for adsorption applications. This includes the analysis of the adsorption behavior of chars, activated carbons, template-derived carbon, carbon aerogels, graphene, and carbon nanotubes, among many others. Both liquid- and gas-phase adsorption studies have a place in this Special Issue. Kinetic, equilibrium, and dynamic adsorption tests on any type of pollutant on carbon-based adsorbents are welcome.

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. C is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
