Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in Membranes
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/membranes/, ISSN 2077-0375), and is now
open to receive submissions of full research papers and comprehensive
review articles for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Membranes in Water Purification
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/membranes/water_purification/
Guest Editor: Dr. Long Duc Nghiem
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 July 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at membranes@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

Article Processing Charges (APC) are waived for well prepared
manuscripts before 1 July 2012. The APC for manuscripts submitted from
1 July 2012 onwards are 300 CHF per accepted paper. In addition, a fee
of 250 CHF will apply if extensive English corrections must be done by the
editors. For details see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/membranes/instructions/. Manuscripts should
be submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial system
