Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced functional materials have been broadly appiled in hydrometallurgy and environment-related fields. On the one hand, functional materials have been exploited by researchers to separate and enrich valuable metals from the complex leaching solutions of low-grade metal ores and secondary resources. On the other hand, these materials have also been adopted for the sepration and removal of heavey metals, harmful gases, or organic pollutants exposed in the environment.
This Special Issue on ‘Advanced Functional Materials Used for Hydrometallurgical and Environmental Applications’ aims to explore the preparation, characterization, and application of advanced functional materials in hydrometallurgical and environmental protection processes. This Special Issue is mainly focused on solvent-impregnated resins, supported ionic liquids, composite electrode materials, ion-imprinted polymers, solid wastes based on adsorption materials, etc. It encourages thorough research on the reveal of adsorption mechanisms based on quantum chemistry simulation and other multidisciplinary approaches.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your original research papers, comprehensive reviews, and inovative communications to this Special Issue.

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.
