Mineral Processing Technologies of Low-Grade Ores

Dear Colleagues,

The decrease in the exploitation of mineral grades around the world requires increasingly intensive mineral processing techniques. Therefore, the development of new technologies, processes, and equipment is necessary to achieve a sufficient level of metal content in concentrates, as well as reasonable mass recoveries, for their proper use.

This Special Issue aims to bring together relevant publications in the field of the mineral processing of ore deposits or residues of low grade.

Relevant publication topics for publication in this Special Issue include alternative techniques for concentrating low-grade minerals, such as the physical–chemical process of concentrating ultrafine minerals; intensive gravity concentration; and the recovery of metals present in residues, batteries, mining waste, etc.

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. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
