本國際期刊涉及與許多領域相關的分離過程的基本和應用方面。期刊涵蓋了廣泛的主題，包括吸附、膜、萃取、蒸餾、吸收、離心、結晶、沉淀、反應分離、混合過程、連續分離、碳捕獲、絮凝和磁分離。該雜志的重點是最先進的準備分離和分離科學領域的理論貢獻。應用包括環境、能源、水和生物技術。該雜志不發表分析分離論文，除非它們包含分離科學領域的新的基本貢獻。

This international journal deals with fundamental and applied aspects of separation processes related to a number of fields. A wide range of topics are covered in the journal including adsorption, membranes, extraction, distillation, absorption, centrifugation, crystallization, precipitation, reactive separations, hybrid processes, continuous separations, carbon capture, flocculation and magnetic separations. The journal focuses on state of the art preparative separations and theoretical contributions to the field of separation science. Applications include environmental, energy, water, and biotechnology. The journal does not publish analytical separation papers unless they contain new fundamental contributions to the field of separation science.”
