Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Pyrolytic Process for Recycling Section of Processes is the ideal forum for the publication of research in the area of the pyrolysis process. The pyrolysis process is a thermochemical method of the conversion of various types of feedstocks, including biomass (agricultural residues, wood, and organic materials), plastics, and other waste, into valuable products such as biochar, bio-oil, and gas. In particular, the use of biochar as a pyrolytic product in environmental applications (anaerobic digestion, wastewater cleaning, fertilization, etc.) is a newly emerging area.
Research papers submitted to the Pyrolytic Process for Recycling Section of Processes are expected to demonstrate novel fundamental concepts of pyrolysis (thermal decomposition reactions and mechanisms), experimental and calculational (numerical) results of the impacts of process parameters on the yields of processes and the physical as well as chemical properties of products, catalytic pyrolysis, integration with other processes for more sustainable recycling solutions and with circular economy principles for sustainable waste management, economic and environmental aspects (environmental impact assessment and life cycle analysis), applications of pyrolytic recycling in different industries, challenges, limitations, and future perspectives of pyrolytic recycling.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
