Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystalline adsorbents, such as zeolites and clays, possess a highly order structured, which makes them favourable in various practical applications because of their well-predictable and consistent sorptive behaviour. Novel zeolite- and clay-like, geopolymers, and hybrid and composite adsorbent materials are introduced to the market almost every year, opening opportunities for the advancement of practical applications, including water treatment and remediation, gas adsorption and separation, and soil remediation.
This Issue is aimed to be multidisciplinary, involving theoretical and computational aspects of material design and engineering, material property prediction, e.g., quantitative structure–property relationships, as well as molecular dynamics to further the fundamental understanding of intermolecular interactions.
Practical and engineering works involving crystalline adsorbents are also welcome. Novel practical applications for crystalline adsorbents are especially interesting.
We invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue titled “Crystalline Adsorbents—in Theory and Practice”, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum on theoretical, computational, and experimental science and engineering, including technology and application of crystalline adsorbents.
The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis, development, and characterization of crystalline adsorbents
- Zeolite and zeolite-like materials
- Clays and clay-like materials
- Composite and hybrid sorbents
- Quantitative structure–property relationships
- Computational property prediction and modelling
- Water treatment and remediation
- Gas adsorption and separation
- Soil remediation
- Novel practical applications of crystalline adsorbents

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
