Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global mineral processing community faces significant challenges, ranging from technological to environmental and economic issues. The mineral processing community has confronted and solved such challenges over the centuries and has thereby delivered important contributions to the clean and efficient use of our mineral resources. This Special Issue aims to collect high quality research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on a wide range of topics concerning mineral processing. The Special Issue will publish selected papers from the 2nd International Conference of Young Scholars in Mineral Processing, 21–23 August, 2017, in Changchun, China. The key objective of the 2nd International Conference of Young Scholars in Mineral Processing is to share the latest developments in mineral processing activities, developments, and research in China and beyond. We invite professionals from the mineral processing industry and practitioners, people from research institutions, as well as academic scholars and researchers to attend this conference. We are cordially inviting you to join us at the conference and also to submit your manuscript to this Special Issue.
