Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid particle filtration in deep-bed filters is one of the principal methods of accurate removal of micrometer- and submicrometer-sized particles from a fluid stream due to its high efficiency and low resistance. The quality of a filter can be described using three parameters, namely, pressure drop on the filter, its separation efficiency, and retention capacity.
Recently, during the pandemic of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a large number of fibrous media were used for manufacturing, protective, and filtering materials. Moreover, the global production of fibrous materials is significantly growing, so air and water purification from micro- and nanofibers is becoming an important challenge, as there is great concern for the release of plastic nano- and microfibers and microparticles (microplastics) to the natural environment.
A mathematical description of the depth filtration is extremely difficult due to the complicated internal geometrical structure of the filters, the complexity of solid particle transport and deposition in the filter, and the unsteady character of the process.
With this Special Issue on “Advances in Deep Bed Filtration Process”, we aim to attract original research articles and review papers that cover research on deep bed filtration processes including filters design, manufacturing, media characterization, mathematical modeling, and 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.
