Dear Colleagues,

About 80% of the global energy source is derived from fossil fuels which result in severe energy crisis and environmental impacts. Membrane technology continues to find multiple industrial applications in the field of sustainable energy production and environmental remediation. Hollow fibre (HF) membranes are used in a growing number of important applications due to their advantages of being mechanically self-supported, no need spacers in the module, small dimensions, and high surface-to-volume ratio. Polymeric and ceramic HF membranes have attained great importance in industry and academia in a number of processes such as water and wastewater treatment, phases contacting and gas separation.

This Special Issue seeks contributions that aim to assess the advances in the field of HF membranes. Authors are invited to submit the latest findings of their research, including original papers and reviews investigating the current state of research on HF membranes. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

•          Innovative materials for HF membrane fabrication

•          Phase-inversion and spinning process

•          HF membrane characterization

•          HF membrane modification

•          Energy and environmental applications of HF membranes

•          Engineering HF membrane modules
