Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane processes are the most common and prevalent for water purification, water reuse, and ultrapure water production. The applications of these technologies have been extended to power generation by the pressure-retarded osmosis process. New membranes are used in water purification and desalination applications, with the potential to overcome membrane shortcomings of limited water permeability and fouling problems. Nanomaterials and graphene-oxide-based membranes have joined the long list of high-performance membranes for various applications.
We invite our colleagues and scientists to submit their research and review papers on membrane processes for various purification technologies. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, research papers on reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, membrane distillation, forward osmosis, pressure-retarded osmosis, new membrane materials, ultra- and microfiltration processes, water reuse, wastewater treatment, and biomimetic membranes. Please submit your research papers to the Special Issue “Application of Membrane Processes in Purification and Power Generation Systems” before the deadline on 30 November 2021.

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. Water 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 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.
