Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Separation technology plays an important role in the fields of mining, metallurgy, materials, and the environment. After pre-treatment such as crushing, grinding, and screening, materials can be separated according to human needs through separation techniques such as flotation, magnetic separation, gravity separation, and electric separation, achieving the separation of useful and useless materials.
Separation technology optimizes process operations, achieves higher separation efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and reduces environmental impacts, ensuring the sustainable utilization of materials. This Special Issue of Separations aims to contribute to the overall growth and sustainable development of mining, metallurgy, materials, and environmental fields.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to crushing, grinding, classification, gravity separation, magnetic separation, electric separation, flotation, leaching, roasting, tailing reselection and utilization, thickening, and cementation.
