Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonferrous metals play an important role in modern life and industry, and most metals exist as the form of sulfides in the earth. Mineral processing and extractive metallurgy produce metals for industry, mainly including flotation and (bio)hydrometallurgy. Flotation is the main mineral processing/beneficiation technology for processing sulfide ores, which aims at providing qualified concentrates for metallurgy. (Bio)hydrometallurgy is also used as the main extractive metallurgy technology in processing sulfide ores, especially for complex and low-grade sulfide ores. Hence, this Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the mineral processing and extractive metallurgy of sulfide ores, including but not limited to topics such as electrochemistry, surface and interface reaction, fluid inclusion, selective separation mechanisms, separation process intensification, and the design and preparation of reagents.

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.
