Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane technology has been solving the problem in wastewater treatment, solvent recovery, and gas effluent for most of the industrial sector. With zero-waste as the goal of designing an industrial process, it is important to implement recycling, reusing, and recovery of the compounds in the overall procedure. Pervaporation (PV) and gas separation using membranes has been proven as one of the most economical separation processes as it offers a lower footprint; simplicity and flexibility to construct; and less energy consumption. Upgrading the current membrane materials for PV and gas separation to support the world industrialization has been the key to obtain a sustainability unit operation. New materials are also explored as an alternative solution in attaining sustainable and efficient separation process.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest discovery or review in the Special Issue on “Membranes in Pervaporation and Gas Separation Process” in the journal Membranes, focusing on current state-of-the-art in the field of PV and gas separation membrane materials, as well as its application in various solvent recovery, desalination, and gas separation.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: characterization of pervaporation or gas separation membranes; pervaporation desalination; hybrid materials for pervaporation or gas separation; polymeric materials for pervaporation or gas separation; inorganic materials for pervaporation or gas separation; bio-inspired materials for pervaporation or gas separation; solvent recovery using pervaporation; and transport mechanism of pervaporation or gas separation membranes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Membranes 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.
