Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) could be the key to mitigating global warming and achieving near-zero emissions worldwide; one of its main focuses is how to realize low-cost and high-efficiency CO2 capture. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a representative technology for CO2 capture and is regarded as one of the most promising methods due to its inherent CO2 separation. In CLC, one key challenge is to develop a suitable chemical looping combustion reactor ensuring a high CO2 yield, combustion efficiency, and carbon capture efficiency. Various kinds of reactors with special configurations are applied to enhance the performance of chemical looping combustion reactors. The visualization and understanding provided by modeling and simulation, the immeasurable information (such as gas–solid phase flow, unconverted gas distribution, gas leakage routes) assist investigators in upgrading the design of the reactors, optimizing the operation parameters, scaling up the reactors, etc. All these contributions will elevate chemical looping technology to the next level.
This Special Issue will focus on “Chemical Looping Combustion Reactor and Its Applications”. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Chemical looping combustion reactor design and operation;
- Modeling and simulation of chemical looping process;
- Pilot plants and microreactors;
- Novel chemical looping technologies reactors;
- Technoeconomic analysis on the CLC system.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
