Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
When it was discovered, zeolite was deemed to be a weird rock that releases vapor when heated. Nowadays, thanks to an immense level of advanced scientific research, zeolites are widely used in various ways. The unique 3D microporous crystalline structure with large specific surface area and thermally stable lattice of this aluminosilicate mineral allows the presence not only at the surface but inside of the uniform-sized cavities and channels for different ions, atoms, and nano-sized particles. This makes this mineral applicable across various fields. Due to their structure, zeolites are widely used in processes such as adsorption, ion exchange, catalysis, as molecular sieves, in microbiology, etc. Furthermore, zeolites are readily available, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, which are the additional reasons for the applicability of these minerals.
This Special Issue of Processes dedicated to zeolites is an opportunity to present the latest scientific results focusing on zeolites. Scientific contributions and review studies from the zeolite application in adsorption presents the topic of this Special Issue, but research dedicated to zeolite structure research, zeolite surface modifications, and environmental protection is also welcome.

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.
