Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mineral resources are an essential material basis for world economic and social development and are non-renewable resources. With the depletion of high-grade and easy-to-exploit mineral resources, developing economic, effective, green, and low-energy-consumption low-grade complex mineral resources or secondary resource separation and utilization technology has attracted worldwide attention. The object of mineral processing has expanded from natural mineral resources to secondary resource recovery and utilization. All kinds of solid waste, such as tailings, slag, fly ash, metal, electrical, plastic, domestic, and even soil, have become processing objects, which are processed and converted into valuable resources. This Special Issue aims to explore the green and intelligent development of mineral processing, sorting, and mineral essential metal extraction theory and technology and promote technological innovation in the field of mineral resources processing and utilization.
This Special Issue covers basic and applied research in the technical fields of mineral separation theory and technology, mineral processing equipment and intelligence, mining and metallurgy environmental protection, urban mines, secondary resource recycling, process mineralogy and analysis, mineral materials, beneficiation–metallurgy combination, surface chemistry, mineral processing technology, metal extraction and separation, bioleaching, and comprehensive utilization of hazardous solid waste/tailings.

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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
