Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are the primary air pollutants today. Usually, several factors, such as transportation and industrial operations, are associated with their origin. Catalytic combustion is one of the most promising approaches for their removal at low concentrations. The application of various systematic research approaches related to the creation of new types of catalysts based on different noble metals or transition metal oxides is necessary for the development of systems for performing the catalytic neutralization of gases containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as methane, propane, butane, and organic solvents.
This Special Issue will focus on developing novel catalysts for the catalytic removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Reports that describe the innovative designs of various catalytic systems for testing at multiple scales, ranging from pilot plants to laboratory catalytic reactors, as well as experimental installations to obtain information on poisoning, thermal and hydrothermal stability, and the regeneration of catalysts, are also relevant.

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. Catalysts 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.
