Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The processing of raw mineral materials includes operations such as communition, separation, dewatering, briquetting, and combustion. These are processes necessary for obtaining a product with the appropriate quality parameters (e.g., useful component content or pollution level) and various characteristics, including strength parameters, which are required by the customer. Providing the appropriate product parameters, apart from satisfying the customers’ expectations, also significantly affects the natural environment and can substantially contribute to the minimisation of negative effects, e.g., in the case of coal combustion in household or industrial installations that are not equipped with appropriate devices for exhaust cleaning. Factor analysis can be useful in mineral processing models as well as analyses of various influences of the selected features on the course of the process. It can also be a vital solution in terms of environmental aspects of the processing plants and operations. Therefore, in combination with modeling issues this can be a way to find an efficient solution to various problems accompanying the activities of many industrial plants. We look forward to papers showing the use of statistical analysis of data in quality control systems and optimization of product parameters as well as analysis of the environmental impact of coal parameters.
Therefore, the editors especially welcome papers dealing with:
- Original approaches aiming at the improvement of factor analysis for coal;
- Statistical analysis of coal processing;
- Innovative mathematical methods for coal processing;
- Modeling and assessment of coal beneficiation results;
- Factor analysis influencing the stability of coal pellets;
- Factor analysis of product quality control.

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. Energies 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.
