Membrane Technologies for Resource Recovery (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue on “Membrane Technologies for Resource Recovery (Volume II)” is to promote membrane technologies as novel, eco-friendly, low-cost technologies for water treatment and resource recovery. Commercially, membrane technologies are currently on the rise not only as industrial solutions for water treatment but also as potential methods of valorizing residues following circular economy frameworks. Thus, they can be used to obtain resources such as salts, fertilizers, biocompounds, energy, or other added-value products from waste.

The scope of this Special Issue is wastewater treatment using membrane technologies (nanofiltration, electrodialysis, membrane contactors, reverse osmosis, membrane distillation, forward osmosis, etc.), or a combination of two or more membrane technologies in an integration process train, in order to recover added-value resources. Then, the recovered product or products could be used in the same treatment process, in another process of the same industry, or in another industrial field, closing a circular economy loop.

Original research articles, reviews, industrial cases, and short communications are welcomed and encouraged.

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.
