Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical contaminants and residues, such as mycotoxins and phycotoxins, pesticide residues and veterinary drugs, heavy metals, dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls, toxicants produced in food processing, and plant-derived contaminants, pose major threats to the safety of agricultural and food products.
Porous materials, especially advanced porous materials, including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent–organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), and biochars, due to their high specific surface areas, tunable pore structures, and facile functionalization, have shown great potential in the elimination of these hazards.
This Topic, entitled “Advanced Porous Materials for the Elimination of Chemical Contaminants and Residues”, aims to gather scientific reviews or research articles about the advanced porous materials and techniques for the elimination of food hazards. Topics may include, but are not limited to, (a) the design and preparation of new porous adsorbents for chemical contaminant and residue removal; (b) novel methods for the elimination of chemical contaminants and residues; (c) mechanistic studies on food hazard elimination; and (d) advanced detection methods for early warning. We hope that the papers collected on this topic inspire progress in food hazard elimination.

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. Molecules 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 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.
