Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an urgent need to develop new green processes that are powered by alternative energies in order to make our current chemical processes environmentally viable. To accomplish this, catalytic reaction engineering has a major role to play by contributing to the phenomenologically based reactor models and kinetics that are required for the successful implementation of these new technologies. In this respect, it is expected that data obtained from strategically designed laboratory-scale studies will provide the required technical knowledge for the scaling up of green process units. It is also anticipated that new industrial-scale catalytic reactors developed with this approach in mind will have a major impact on hydrogen production, air and water decontamination, CO2 capture, and many other catalytic technologies. This will be carried out with the understanding that energies such as solar and wind are needed to make these new technologies fully sustainable and holistic. It is with this goal in mind that we have planned the “Photocatalytic Reaction Engineering and Catalytic Reaction Engineering-Reactor Configurations and Scale-up” sessions in the context of the 2024-27thCSC (Canadian Society Catalysis) conference in Sherbrooke, Quebec, which will take place from May 12 to May 15, 2024. Furthermore, on July 22 and July 23rd, 2024, the prestigious Chemical Catalyst 2024 will take place in Berlin, Germany. Selected contributions from these two conferences are invited for the Special Issue on Catalyzing the Sustainable Process Paradigm. In summary, this Special Issue of Catalysts aims to provide the most up-to-date findings on and advances in these critical technological issues to the scientific catalytic reaction engineering community.

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. Catalysts 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 2700 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.
