Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite all researchers and professors to submit their recent work to be published in the Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Methods for Separation and Extraction of Radionuclides”. Professor Dr. Mohamed F. Attallah (Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority) will act as a Guest Editor on this Special Issue.
Radionuclides exist in our life either naturally or artificially. Man-made radionuclides can be produced via different nuclear reactions. These can be carried out in various ways using neutron flux, charged particles, or heavy ions, as well as photonuclear reaction in a suitable nuclear facility. Moreover, in most cases, some other radionuclides are presented in the matrix that result from a side nuclear reaction and/or decay process of the parent radionuclides. There is increased demand for some radionuclides in different disciplines, such as nuclear medicine, industry, nuclear energy, research, and so on. The purification and separation of those radionuclides are necessary not only for their quantification, in some cases, but also for their wide potential applications. Thus, efficient radioanalytical separation methods are in high demand to achieve the above-mentioned tasks. The separation of natural and/or man-made radionuclides from their matrix is welcome in this issue.
We seek either a novel and/or development separation method that could enrich and be useful for this topic.
Prof. Dr. Mohamed F. Attallah
Guest Editor
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. Separations 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 2600 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.
