Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Chemical engineering is undergoing an important transformation as advances in process modeling, simulation and optimization address the complex challenges of sustainability, efficiency and industrial competitiveness. This Special Issue on “Process Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization in Chemical Engineering” aims to bring together recent research that uses these tools to improve process design, reduce environmental impact, and maximize operational efficiency.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Development of new models for chemical processes.
  • Advanced simulation techniques for process analysis and design.
  • Optimization of chemical processes to increase efficiency and reduce emissions.
  • Application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for process simulation and optimization.
  • Techno-economic analysis of emerging chemical engineering processes.
  • Case studies on modeling and optimization implementation in industry.
  • Integration of renewable energy sources in chemical processes.

This Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for sharing innovative approaches and case studies that drive process optimization in chemical engineering.

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.
