Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to submit your original research work to the upcoming Special Issue of Membranes on Membrane Distillation. Membrane distillation is a rapidly growing technology with great potential in various fields including desalination, wastewater treatment, food industry, and pharmaceutical production. Membrane distillation has distinct advantages over traditional separation techniques such as low fouling tendency, high separation efficiency, and the ability to operate at low temperatures and pressures.
This Special Issue aims to compile recent advances in membrane distillation technology and its applications, presenting them alongside emerging challenges and potential solutions. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on various aspects of membrane distillation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Novel membrane materials and structures;
- Advanced membrane distillation configurations and systems;
- Fouling and scaling phenomena and mitigation strategies;
- Modeling and simulation of membrane distillation processes;
- Applications of membrane distillation in desalination, wastewater treatment, and other areas.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform to enable researchers, engineers, and scientists to share their knowledge and experiences in the field of membrane distillation. We hope that this collection of articles will serve as a valuable reference for the scientific community and provide insights for future research and development.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue, and we hope that you find this topic both interesting and relevant to your research.

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.
