Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their efficiency and ability to deliver process intensification, membrane separation technology has been used in various applications, such as water treatment, pharmaceutical, petroleum, and energy-related industries. However, a limited separation performance (i.e., permeability–selectivity trade-off), low productivity, and short membrane lifespan present severe technical challenges to membrane separation. To solve those issues, the innovation of membrane preparation techniques is more urgent than that of membrane materials, not only affecting physicochemical properties and the separation performance of the fabricated membranes, but also directly determining their potential of industrialized application.
This Special Issue on “Advanced Preparation Technology for Separation Membrane” of the journal Membranes seeks contributions assessing the state-of-the-art and future developments in the field of separation membrane preparation. Topics include, but are not limited to, new manufacturing techniques and materials developments, gas purification and water treatment applications, demonstration efforts and industrial exploitation. Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original papers and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your outstanding work for this Special Issue.
Dr. Liangliang Dong
Guest Editor
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.
