Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recovery of metals from different sources such as wastewater and brine is of great importance due to their limited supply and rising demand. Membrane technologies present a promising alternative for the more sustainable and cost-effective recovery of metals. In particular, ion exchange membrane technologies such as electrodialysis (ED) and Donnan dialysis (DD) have the potential for highly selective and energy-efficient metal recovery. This Special Issue aims to gather and disseminate recent findings in the development of ion exchange membranes and the analysis and testing of applications in ED and DD, among others, for the efficient recovery of metals from hypersaline brines and various wastewater resources.

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. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
