Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To provide comprehensive insights into particulate systems and support the development of process industries such as in minerals, chemicals, metallurgy, materials, pharmaceuticals, and energy and environmental sectors, and to advance the green and intelligent transformation and upgrading of related industries, we are organizing a Special Issue named “Advanced Granular Processing Technologies and Applications” in the journal of Applied Sciences. With the theme of "Particle Simulation, Green and Low-Carbon, and Intelligent Manufacturing", this Special Issue invites experts and scholars worldwide to deliver their lastest research results, exploring the green and low-carbon industrial routes in the context of the "dual carbon" goals, and investigating the cutting-edge technologies in the intelligent control and optimization of complex multiphase flow in mining and metallurgy as well as the underlying challenges in the preparation and application of new materials. We aim for the content of this Special Issue to provide researchers and engineers in various fields, such as mining, metallurgy, materials, and so on, with valuable information and effective references.
Therefore, articles related, but not limited to, the following topics are welcome:
- Simulation and Modelling of Granular Systems;
- Green, Low-Carbon, and Intelligent Metallurgy;
- Optimization of Mineral Processing Systems;
- Additive Manufacturing, Powder Metallurgy and Intelligent Technologies;
- Low-Carbon and Advanced Materials Preparation Processes.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
