Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coal mining dust poses significant challenges to mine safety and occupational health, with its generation mechanisms and diffusion dynamics directly impacting environmental governance and worker protection. This Special Issue explores the kinetic behavior of dust particles, multi-scale diffusion modeling, and intelligent control technologies, aiming to integrate global research advancements in dust monitoring, numerical simulations, and emission reduction strategies. Key areas of focus include mechanistic analysis of dust formation, coupled environmental–equipment interactions, multiphase flow simulations, real-time monitoring systems, and novel dust suppression materials, providing scientific and technical insights for sustainable mining practices.
Themes
- Dynamic mechanisms and evolution of dust generation during coal mining operations;
- Multiphysics-coupled numerical modeling of ventilation systems and dust dispersion;
- Real-time dust monitoring and intelligent early-warning technologies;
- Green chemical and engineering approaches for efficient dust suppression.

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. Processes 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 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.
