Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the success of the Special Issue “Biochemical Processes for Sustainability”, we have decided to prepare a second edition. Due to the advantages offered by biochemical processes such as their high chemical and energy efficiency, perfected over thousands of years, and their harmlessness or adaptation to life, biochemical processes are ideal for achieving sustainability. Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the present population without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore, sustainability involves reducing the impacts of products, processes, and services on human health and the environment and even achieving environmentally positive impacts. This Special Issue will include cutting-edge advancements in how biochemistry or natural process can help us achieve sustainable development goals. Research in this field is directed towards the development of new methods, new chemicals, or new engineering routes for more ecological and economic products, processes, or services.
We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that promote biochemical processes for sustainable development goals. We are particularly interested in articles that explore biochemical technologies that promote a circular economy, innovative environmental technologies for water treatment and pollution control, process intensification, etc.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Biocatalysis
- Fermentations
- Microalgae
- Nanotechnology
- Environmental technologies for water treatment and pollution control
- Biofertilizers
- Microbial fuel cells
- Green Hydrogen
- Biofuels
- Natural materials
- Chemicals in healthcare

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
