Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Separation science (analytical chemistry) is one of the most important aspects of human development. It is used in many areas of research, including medicines, pharmaceuticals, the environment and other industrial applications, and no branch of science can function optimally without it.
Modern analysis techniques of the last decade aim to fulfill the demand for green techniques in a wide range of applications and to enable inexpensive, effective, reproducible and eco-friendly analyses.
In this Special Issue, researchers are invited to contribute original research articles on separation, extraction, detection and removal approaches using various techniques. This issue aims to cover chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and other electrochemical techniques, as well as sample preparation methods. Water treatment requires strong and inexpensive separation/removal methods; therefore, this issue also aims to covers all water treatment, desalination and water recycling technologies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Simple and chiral separation using chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.
- Analysis and detection using various electrochemical methods
- Sample preparation methods in biological and environmental fluids.
- Water treatment using adsorption, membranes, biodegradation, photodegradation and other electrochemical methods.
- The development of advanced nanomaterials in sample preparation and water treatment.
- Hyphenation of sample and separation methods.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
