Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change mitigation, in the short and long term, makes necessary the development of alternative approaches in energy-related processes. In this context, membrane operations for CO2 separation are intensively being explored due to the fundamental engineering and economic advantages over conventional industrial processes. In line with the increasing attention that membranes have gained in the last few decades, the present Special Issue reports on the most important and latest fundamental and technological advances in CO2 separation processes using membranes under the three main approaches under study: i) sieve membranes, ii) non-dispersive absorption using porous membranes; and (iii) supported liquid membranes.
This Special Issue, "Membranes for Carbon Dioxide Separation", is open to manuscripts focused on polymeric, inorganic and mixed matrix membranes, as well as CO2-facilitated transport membranes and hollow fiber gas–liquid membrane contactors. Recent achievements for those systems and the main limitations and challenges to be faced are envisaged, considering the next steps that should be undertaken to advance as fast as possible towards realistic solutions for CO2 capture.
Authors are invited to submit their latest results; original papers, communications and reviews are welcomed.

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.
