Catalytic Purification of Pollutants and Catalytic Conversion of Solid Wastes

This special issue belongs to the section “Environmental Catalysis“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your interest in publishing your work in Catalysts. This Special Issue invites contributions of original high-quality interdisciplinary research papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. Studies significantly advancing our fundamental understanding of and focusing on the Catalytic Purification of Pollutants and Catalytic Conversion of Solid Wastes will be given primary consideration. Field studies have preference, while papers describing laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant advances in methodology or mechanistic understanding with a clear connection to the catalytic pathway and catalysis chemistry. Descriptive, repetitive, incremental, or regional-scale studies with limited novelty will not be considered.

Prof. Dr. Boxiong Shen
Dr. Peng Yuan

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Catalysts 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 2200 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.
