Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CO2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology has been regarded as the most effective way to reduce industrial CO2 emissions, mitigate the greenhouse effect and realize strategic goals of carbon neutrality. Geologic clay minerals are excellent cost-effective candidates for environmental materials with a large specific surface area, remarkable adsorption capability, low cost, high mechanical properties and chemical stability. Efficient and economical technologies focusing on clay minerals in CO2 capture, utilization and storage are eagerly desired. This Special Issue aims to present the most updated advances in clay minerals in CO2 capture, utilization and storage technologies, which are involved in the novel synthesis route of clay-based adsorbents and catalysts, clay mineral-derived materials for CCUS, efficient and economical CO2 mineralization and storage processes and the application prospect of clay minerals in CCUS processes. This Special Issue will cover but is not limited to the following topics:
- Clay minerals in CO2 capture;
- Clay minerals in CO2 utilization and conversion;
- Clay minerals in CO2 mineralization and storage;
- Clay-based CO2 adsorbents;
- Comprehensive utilization of mineral resources;
- Carbon neutrality;
- CO2 mitigation technology.

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. Minerals 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.
