Electronic manuscripts. Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hardcopies are sufficient. For the processing of accepted papers, electronic versions are preferred. After final acceptance, your disk plus three final and exactly matching printed versions should be submitted together. Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes (3.5 or 5.25 inch) are acceptable. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the wordprocessor program used. Label the disk with the name of the computer and wordprocessing package used, your name, and the name of the file on the disk. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.

Aims and Scope of the Journal Separation and Purification Technology is a bimonthly international journal providing a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of separation and purification of homogeneous gaseous and liquid solutions and heterogeneous mixtures, such as emulsions or gas/solid, liquid/solid and solid mixtures. Separation and Purification Technology welcomes in particular contributions focused on applications in the environmental protection industry, the recycling of valuable materials from industrial wastes, and the treatment of separation and purification problems in emerging technologies including energy storage and conversion systems, raw material and renewable energy exploitation, biotechnology and chemical or petrochemical processing. The papers published in Separation and Purification Technology should have either theoretical significance or practical utility or both. They may be presented in the form of full articles, short communications or state-of-the-art reviews. All contributions will be reviewed by two or more referees to ensure both scientific quality and technical relevance. Revisions of manuscripts may thus be required. Information regarding manuscript submission can be obtained from any one of the editors.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided after registration of an article for publication.
