Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The backfilling and mining method is one of the green mining technologies, which shares many technological advantages with others in terms of the management of solid wastes (e.g., gangue, fly ash), strata movement control, and improvement of the recovery ratio. Meanwhile, many other backfilling methods have also been proposed based on the methodology. Even though the solid backfilling and mining method has been widely used in China, some improvements are still expected; for example, how to increase the backfilling and mining efficiency, control the strata movement precisely, optimize the mixing recipe, and enhance the intelligence level of devices. This Special Issue intends to invite scholars to contribute to the development of solid backfilling and mining technology, with a focus on, but not limited to, the design and upgrading of intelligent equipment, the optimization of mixing recipes with the aim of improving the strength of the backfilling body, the on-site observation of strata movement and surface deformation, and the analysis of typical backfilling and mining engineering cases.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
