Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The processes and technologies of gas capture and separation play important roles in the global economy and different industrial sectors. Due to the increasing energy demand and stronger environmental regulations, there is a constant search for improvement and optimization. Current challenges in the field include the development of new materials that may selectively retain a given gas component and process intensification via the optimization of operating conditions. Recent developments of molecular simulation tools, aided by experimental data obtained by carefully designed methods, are also reported as contributing to the understanding and further enhancement of separation and capture processes.
The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase how mainstream scientists in the fields of adsorption, extraction, membranes, separation processes and material engineering have been addressing strategies to enhance gas separation and capture efficiency sustainably via the use of different approaches and technologies.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
