Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the most recent advances in membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology in the area of resource recovery. As a technology that unites the advantages of biological conversion, separation, purification, and concentration, MBRs enjoy great research and industrial attention in bioprocesses from wastewater treatment to waste biorefineries. Considering the growing role of MBRs in enhancing sustainability and resource recovery in bioprocesses to further comply with the circular economy concept, it is in our best interest to provide a platform to gather all recent advances in the broad scope of MBR application in resource recovery and invite you submit articles, case studies, reviews, and communications considering the following keywords

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. Membranes 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 2700 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.
