Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Salt lakes are invaluable repositories of multi-ionic and multi-component inorganic salt resources, rich in elements such as potassium, lithium, boron, rubidium and cesium. These resources are closely tied to developments in agriculture, industry and aerospace. With technological advancements, particularly in new energy and high-tech industries, there is an increasing demand for the development and utilization of components such as lithium, boron, rubidium and cesium from brines. The key scientific and technological challenges in efficient separation and extraction techniques have become pivotal for maximizing resource utilization.
This Special Issue aims to highlight breakthroughs and innovations in the green and efficient separation and extraction of salt lake resources. We seek contributions that report on the latest advancements in materials, mechanisms and processes in the adsorption, extraction, membrane technologies, electrochemistry and other relevant techniques for brine utilization. Our goal is to provide valuable insights and methods for the green and efficient development of salt lake resources.
Therefore, we cordially invite you to contribute your research articles, communications or reviews to this Special Issue. Your contribution will play a significant role in advancing this crucial field and offering insights into the efficient utilization of salt lake resources.

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).
