Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrometallurgical technology, with its advantages in relative economy and environmental protection, has always been of great concern in the extraction and separation of valuable metals and secondary resources. Traditional hydrometallurgical separation methods, such as leaching, precipitation, solvent extraction and novel ones (ion exchange, membrane separation, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, etc.), have been extensively employed to recover valuable metals and to remove hazardous elements. The hydrometallurgical separation technologies are closely related to the sustainable development of metal separation and recovery from various types of waste materials. The discussion of key issues and development trends of future separation technologies are of great importance for development of more efficient and environmentally friendly separation methods.
This Special Issue aims to offer a collection for professionals and researchers working in the areas of hydrometallurgical separation technology. The latest developments in efficient hydrometallurgical separation technology, including traditional separation methods with emerging advanced methods, are welcomed.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
