Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the constant depletion of quality ore resources, the extraction and utilization of complex ore has attracted much research attention in recent decades. When treating complex ore with current methods, many issues, such as the difficulty of minerals enrichment, low utilization rate of ore resources and large output of tailing (or slag), arise due to complex phase components. The current research focuses on mineralogy, phase transformation, and the separation and extraction of valuable elements from complex ore and wastes by hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods. The present Special Issue on “Complex Ore Extraction and Utilization” can be seen as a status report summarizing the research progress achieved in the last five years. Submissions of papers should include review and research articles.
The potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- The characterization of complex ore;
- The crystallization of complex ore;
- Grinding technologies;
- Separation technologies;
- New flotation reagents;
- Thermodynamic properties;
- Phase transformation;
- Phase diagram and phase equilibrium;
- The oxidization and reduction of complex ore;
- The leaching of complex ore;
- Challenges and innovations in the extraction and utilization of complex ore.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
