Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection of ChemEngineering, entitled “Green and Environmentally Sustainable Chemical Processes”, will focus on the publication of original manuscripts and critical reviews aimed at advancing the application of the principles of green chemistry and green engineering to chemical processes performed both at industrial and laboratory scales. Manuscripts devoted, but not limited, to the preparation of organic, inorganic, ceramic, and glassy materials are warmly welcome.
Indeed, pursuing ever-more sustainable development requires chemistry and materials science disciplines to adopt procedures aimed at reducing their associated environmental impacts. However, the quantification of the environmental benefits of the proposed processes over the well-established ones is necessary in order to assess the effective green characteristics of the proposed approaches.
Particularly, the application of well-established green chemistry metrics, environmental sustainability metrics, and/or indicators, to prove and quantify the effective shift of the proposed process in the ecological transition direction, will be the main focus of this Topical Collection, and particular attention will be given to contributions that demonstrate environmentally sustainable advancements with respect to current scenarios, technologies, and processes.
Manuscripts devoted to the proposition of new metrics and indicators will be considered as well.

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 collection 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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.
