Dear Colleagues,
We recently accepted to serve as the Guest Editors for the Special Issue " Pollutant Removal and Separation Processes in Chemical Engineering " of the journal Processes (ISSN 2227-9717; indexed in *SCIE* and *Scopus*; IF = 1.963 and CiteScore = 2.05, ranks Q2 in the category “Engineering, Chemical”). (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes">http://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes). In this regard, we would be very pleased if you would agree to contribute a short communication, research paper, or a focus review on this theme. Deadline for manuscript submissions is * 15 January 2021 *. Given below is some information that you may find useful in your consideration of this invitation.
*Special Issue Description*
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/special_issues/Pollutant_Removal_Processes
This Special Issue on “Pollutant Removal and Separation Processes in Chemical Engineering” aims to explore innovative separation techniques such as sorbents, biofilters, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis for improved pollutant treatment in different sources in the environment. Certain pharmaceuticals, day care products, disinfectants, pesticides, insecticides, and heavy metals are of special interest. Furthermore, several pollutants are not efficiently removed by conventional treatments such as flocculation, coagulation, sedimentation or biological treatment. This issue aims to promote the introduction of new highly effective and cost-efficient separation technologies for removal of these pollutants from the environment. Topics include but not limited to:
• Novel adsorbents for removal of micropollutants from the environment;
• Biofilms and filtration technologies for pollutants removal;
• Advanced oxidation process for pollutant degradation;
• Nanotechnology applications and process control in pollutants removal
*Keywords*
• novel adsorbents
• microfiltration
• nanofiltration
• reverse osmosis
• advanced oxidation processes
• new emerging pollutants
• heavy metals
• pesticides
• insecticides
*How to Submit*
