Separation, Purification and Extraction of Metals from Primary and Secondary Resources

Dear Colleagues,

Through the separation, purification and extraction of metals from primary and secondary resources, metals are repeatedly reused to ensure the sustainability and valorization of limited metal resources.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the most up-to-date research in separation, purification and extraction of metals from primary and secondary resources. The interests are particularly related to the enrichment and extraction of metals from concentrates, slag and secondary resources, the separation of metals from ores, slag and waste, the purification of metals, metal recovery and recycling, related physicochemical principles and thermodynamic fundamentals.
