Welcome letter from chairs

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the 3rd International Congress on Separation and Purification Technology (ISPT 2026), to be held in beautiful Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, from September 6-9, 2026.

Organized by Elsevier's flagship journal, Separation and Purification Technology, ISPT 2026 will provide a premier forum for leading researchers worldwide to showcase their cutting-edge work in all areas of separation and purification science.

Conference Scope:

The congress will cover the full spectrum of separation and purification technologies, including novel methods for homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures in chemical and environmental engineering. This encompasses the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases (excluding analytical methods). We will feature advances stemming from the latest innovations in experimental studies, theoretical analyses, process development and simulation, equipment design and fabrication. The preparation and modification of materials will be considered if the intended separation/purification operation is a core component of the work, rather than solely a characterization tool.

Focus Areas:

ISPT 2026 will place particular emphasis on addressing separation challenges in emerging technologies, including:

Carbon neutrality

Hydrogen separation/generation

Biotechnology

Bio-based feedstocks/products

Green technology

Energy storage and conversion

Resource recovery and recycling

Gas/water treatments

Networking and Publication Opportunities:

This conference offers an exceptional opportunity to connect with world-leading scientists, top researchers from academia, national laboratories/research institutes, and industry. Stay abreast of the latest research and developments in this rapidly evolving field.

Call for Abstracts:

We encourage you to submit abstracts showcasing your cutting-edge research and industry progress in separation and purification technology. Selected presentations and posters will be recommended for publication in the ISPT 2026 Special Issue (VSI: ISPT2026) of Separation and Purification Technology. This high-impact platform (2023 IF: 8.2), a JCR Q1 top journal in the Elsevier family, provides exceptional visibility for leading experts worldwide. We extend our sincere gratitude to the editorial team, reviewers, and authors for their tireless support and contributions to the journal's growing global impact.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sitges!

Sincerely,

ISPT 2026 Conference Chairs

Jorge Bedia, University Autonoma of Madrid, Spain

Bart Van der Bruggen, KU Leuven, Belgium

Marta Pazos, University of Vigo, Spain

Monica Reig, Polytechnic University of Catalunya, Spain

Organiser

This conference is organised by Elsevier.

There are many benefits to publishing in Science Talks:

Videos are content rich

Video content is more memorable and engaging. All submissions are peer-reviewed, and recordings undergo a quality check prior to publication to ensure our high standards are met.

Videos are easy to submit

Our easy-to-use use template makes it easy for participants to submit a manuscript to accompany their video.

Videos are freely accessible

All Science Talks videos are immediately and freely available to download and use. Published videos receive a DOI so that they can be cited, and they are hosted on ScienceDirect—the world’s largest scientific content platform with 20 million+ active users. We also add closed captioning and a transcript of the video prior to publication.

Videos are free to publish

There are no publication charges for authors who submit before 31^st December 2024.

A special issue based on ISPT 2022 opens in new tab/window has been published in Science Talks. This year, we are offering the same opportunity and welcome presenters from ISPT 2024 to participate in the video special issue dedicated to the conference.

Submission will open on 21^st June 2024, and will close on 11^th October 2024.

When preparing for the submission, please make sure it includes:

A video recording – the recording via zoom or any other platform of your preference must have good audio quality, while talking through a set of slides.

A short manuscript prepared according to the journal’s template opens in new tab/window, which allows viewers to review a short abstract, and access tables and figures that you will present and a reference list. Journal’s editorial staff can help you with the editing of your manuscript before submission if required.

Short author bio for each co-author of your publication which includes a profile photo + a short paragraph.

Please kindly be noted that you can publish a full-length article, and then, submit a video article to Science Talks, it is not a ‘one or another’ situation.

When submitting, please kindly make sure to choose ISPT 2024.

For any queries related to the video collection, please feel free to contact Chang Liu via [email protected] opens in new tab/window.
