Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to announce that the National Research Centre (NRC, Egypt) and the Center of Excellence in Membrane-based Water Desalination Technology for Testing and Characterization (CEMTC), Port Said University will jointly host the 2nd International Conference for Membranes Technology and Its Applications (MTAIC, 2021) in NRC (Cairo, Egypt). After a successful first conference in 2019 in Egypt, the NRC is organizing its second conference in Cairo, Egypt. MTAIC 2021 will be held 15–17 August 2021 at the NRC in Cairo, Egypt (http://mtaic.org/ and https://mtaic2020.conferences.ekb.eg/). The location is the National Research Center in the heart of Cairo, the ideal place to bring together academic scientists and industrial companies in the field of membrane technology.
This Special Issue, “Membranes Technology and Its Applications”, will receive papers presented during MTAIC 2021 with a 25% discount. Other submissions from researchers that meet the scope of this Special Issue are welcome as well. On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite you to submit your paper. Conference participants and other researchers are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Membranes.
This special Issue aims to highlight and promote recent advances in polymeric and ceramic membrane technology in important applications such as water purification, wastewater treatment, and gas separation. Membrane applications are based on the required technology. In water treatment and desalination, membranes are used in the treatment of industrial and agricultural wastewater, and in the tertiary treatment of wastewater and seawater desalination. Additionally, integrated membranes technology using different membranes such as forward osmosis membranes and ultrafiltration to treat oily wastewater from petroleum refineries and water extracted from the drilling of wells, as well as the reduction of salinity using hybrid forward/reverse osmosis membrane technology or nanofiltration to reduce seawater salinity to a suitable level that meets environmental regulations.
This Special Issue covers all fields related to membrane technology and its applications. Special attention will be given to the following topics:
- Fabrication of polymeric and ceramic membranes.
- Fabrication of flat sheet and spiral-wound modules, tubular and hollow-fiber membranes.
- Ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, forward osmosis and microfiltration membranes.
- Water and wastewater treatment.
- Water desalination.
- Pharmaceutical applications.
- Petroleum industries.
- Fertilizer industries.
- Food production.
- Membranes for gas separation.
- Membranes for fuel cells.
- Electro-membranes.
- Membrane distillation and pervaporation.
- Membranes in chemical production.
- Membranes in medical applications.
Both original research papers and comprehensive reviews are welcome. We look forward to your exciting contributions.

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.
