Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dispersive-based extraction techniques have attracted considerable attention in the sample preparation field in the last decade. The higher contact area between the extraction phase and the sample solution favours the mass transfer of analytes, improving kinetics and achieving good results in lower extraction times. Depending on the nature of the extraction phase, it can be solvent-based or sorbent-based, with either dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) or dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), respectively, the two most widely used dispersive techniques.
The present Special Issue covers the recent advances, strategies, and applications of this type of extraction technique in different fields (e.g., bioclinical, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, etc.), as well as the use of novel (nano)materials and solvents, which offer great opportunities for the development of phases for more efficient and versatile approaches.
We hope that this Special Issue will provide an analytical perspective on the current research involved in the field of microextraction. Original articles and review articles by experts are particularly welcome.
Dr. Juan L. Benedé

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
