Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water scarcity and pollution are pressing global challenges demanding innovative solutions. Membrane-based technologies offer a promising approach to efficient water purification. This Special Issue aims to advance the field by exploring the design and preparation of sustainable separation membranes. We invite contributions that delve into the development of novel membrane materials, fabrication techniques, and characterization methods. Studies covering green synthesis approaches, multi-functional membrane design, and membrane performance under diverse operating conditions are especially welcome. The Special Issue also encourages research on modeling, environmental impact assessments, and case studies that address the implementation of these technologies in real-world applications.
By fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient water purification technologies.

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.
