Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our upcoming Special Issue, entitled “Feature paper in Sustainable Mining Engineering 2023”. This publication will feature a collection of outstanding papers, including comprehensive reviews and original research articles, in the fields of mining engineering, sustainability and environment. Researchers are invited to submit cutting-edge developments and novel knowledge related to sustainable mining engineering, with a particular focus on innovative solutions to the challenges that the mining industry is currently facing.
We welcome submissions from all researchers (from various backgrounds), especially younger scholars, who are interested in exploring innovative practices and solutions to the challenges facing the mining industry of the future.
We encourage papers on a wide range of topics related to sustainability in mining, including but not limited to:
- Sustainable mining practices and development;
- Mining Innovation;
- Green mining technologies;
- Carbon footprint reduction in mining;
- Sustainable mineral resource management;
- Geometallurgical/geoenvironmental modeling;
- Eco-friendly mineral processing;
- Digitalization and automation: mine 4.0;
- Life cycle assessment in mining;
- Circular economy in mining;
- Mining environmental impact assessments;
- Mine waste management;
- Mine water management;
- Mine closure planning;
- Climate change adaptation in mining.
Join us in advancing sustainable mining practices for a better mine in the future! Submit your work today without delay.
Authors will be the Editorial Board members or those invited by the editorial office and the Editor-in-Chief. The papers would be published, free of charge, in Open Access after peer review.
