Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Minerals and metals build the basis for many materials and applications. However, their production often involves traditional processing routes and technologies. Today, a remarkable reduction in the valuable resources dictates implementing innovative approaches to improve the resource efficiency of processing systems. New materials and applications, on the other hand, require even higher purities and enhanced application properties. In addition to that, the cost of production and the environmental impact of operation have to be reduced. Improving beneficiation techniques for advanced material applications will be key for such a development. This refers to better understanding the structure, the properties, or the functions of materials by using cutting-edge characterization methods and protocols, development of new hardware (equipment, chemicals, etc.) and new software (process models, flowsheets, etc.). This special edition will compile current research and technology development in "Mineral Processing for Advanced Material Applications".

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
