Microwave Conversion Technique Intensification (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few decades, the increased accountability of companies with regard to the environment has represented an astonishing driving force for the development of innovative industrial processes.

Since the assessment of green chemistry principles, the use of microwaves as a valuable tool for sustainable and effective conversion technology has increased. Microwave-based processes have played a very relevant role in many technological fields, proving their feasibility. Furthermore, microwave heating has been proved to be a breakthrough approach in the thermochemical conversion of polymeric materials. Additionally, the food and pharmaceutical sectors have adopted microwave processes as a common production stage in many industrial platforms. Finally, the manufacture of inorganic materials has also included microwave processing such as the performance approach in several productions.

This Special Issue aims to provide an up-to-date picture of recent advances and outstanding innovations in the field of microwave technology. Studies on the intensification of industrial microwave procedures at a lab scale and with solid proof of concept about microwave conversions will be reported.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
