Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue “Heterogeneous Catalysis in Chemical and Petrochemical Processes” is dedicated to research on the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of heterogeneous catalytic materials applied to different chemical and petrochemical processes. Regarding catalyst preparation techniques, both conventional and novel synthesis methods are taken into account, including impregnation, precipitation, surface reactions, deposition–reduction in liquid phase, the synthesis of structured catalysts by dip-coating or other techniques, etc. The applications of these catalytic materials are variable, including the reforming of natural gas, alcohols from renewable sources, paraffin dehydrogenation reactions, the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds in the liquid phase, and the production of compounds with a high added value, like fuels and fine chemical intermediates from biomass.

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.
