Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, new technologies are being intensively developed and existing technologies are being optimized in the field of gas separation and purification. One of the reasons behind this is the deterioration of the ecological situation due to the high technogenic load on the environment. Therefore, these solutions should not be aimed only at increasing efficiency and productivity to ensure greater economic benefits, but new technological solutions must also meet the growing requirements of environmental standards. In the existing ecological and economic context, the design of new chemical industries in which methods of purification and separation of gases play a key role, and the possibilities of membrane gas separation are more and more in demand. However, there are not many gas separation membranes on the market as opposed to membranes for water treatment and liquid separation.
This Special Issue aims to give an overview of the challenges and trends in fabrication, modification, functionalization, and characterization of novel composite gas separation membranes and their possible applications in a wide area of use. It welcomes both original contributions and reviews related to the synthesis of novel membrane polymers, development of novel composite membranes and applications with discussing the properties of these membranes in such processes as carbon dioxide (CCS actions) and other acid gas removal, hydrocarbon separation (such as olefin/paraffin), inert gas separation and purification (such as helium separation from methane), hydrogen separation, separation of volatile organic compounds, analytical applications, and many others. Finally, I hope that in the nearest future, we can obtain a highly stable composite gas separation membrane for a more sustainable chemical industry.

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.
