To cover more research areas and attract more high-quality papers on processes in engineering fields, we are pleased to announce that the Aims and Scope of Processes have been modified. For more detailed information, please click https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/about.

Aims

Processes (ISSN 2227-9717) provides an advanced forum for process/system-related research in chemistry, biology, material, energy, environment, food, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and allied engineering fields. The journal publishes regular research papers, communications, letters, short notes and reviews. Our aim is to encourage researchers to publishexperimental, theoretical and computational results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on paper length or number of figures and tables.
