Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation performance has tremendously improved over the past several decades, especially from the membrane liquid and gas application perspective. They are efficient tools used for the extensive industrial application in fields such as brackish and seawater desalination, food/ beverage processing, gaseous waste treatment, and fuel gas production. The recent development includes the manufacturing of novel polymeric membranes that show superior flux and selectivity with low fouling tendency. Excellent progress in membrane experimental work is also accompanied by modelling studies which help to gain more insight into the membrane performance.
This Special Issue would like to invite significant contributions on novel membrane materials, fouling mitigation, and membrane modelling for liquid and gas separation. Relevant and original technical and review manuscripts are most welcome.

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 2200 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.
