Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The expansion of the human population is creating a tension between the climate, natural resources, and the environment. One way to mitigate its deleterious impact is to adopt different processing techniques in order to acquire food/feed, chemicals, materials, or energy. Therefore, technological innovation of techno-economic performance indexes is required to minimize environmental impact, safety risk, plant print, capital, and operating costs. Membrane technology plays an essential role in coping with sustainability challenges in forthcoming years due to the expected radical innovation achieved by developing hybrid membrane processes with reaction and/or separation.
This Special Issue, entitled “Applications of Membrane Technology in Hybrid Processes”, aims to provide visibility to high-quality research focused on the use of membrane technology to develop novel hybrid processes, and thus process intensification. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- The development of membrane reactors and bioreactors for ISPR or material confinement, either external loop systems or submerged;
- The development of hybrid membrane–separation systems;
- Modeling, simulation, process optimization, and control of hybrid membrane systems;
- Industrial applications.

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. Processes 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.
