Innovative Reduction Processes for Environmental Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, reduction processes are used in different fields, from the synthesis of chemicals to the environmental and catalytic sciences, where they are widely used to reduce or at least minimize the concentration of the pollutants in water, air and soil. As an example, advanced reduction processes (ARPs) have attracted interest in the last few years, placing them as an alternative to conventional treatments. However, much research is still needed to allow upscaling of these ARPs. Therefore, contributions from researchers are needed to improve the knowledge and use of ARPs in real applications. Furthermore, reduction processes can be used for the synthesis of many nanostructures. For this, novel and greener strategies can be used. Plasma-based techniques are being increasingly used for nanomaterials synthesis on different supports. In addition, plasma can be utilized for the production of value-added chemicals and fuels. This Special Issue aims to collect the recent progress in innovative reduction processes for contaminant removal and nanomaterial synthesis. Articles on catalytic ammonia synthesis and carbon dioxide reduction, nanostructure synthesis by plasma treatment, and advanced reduction processes for environmental applications are also welcomed. Descriptions of experimental and theoretical studies, including in original research articles, reviews, communications and perspectives, are invited for submissions.

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. Eng 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 1200 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.
