Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mineral processing, as a relatively green processing technology, is one of the most attractive research fields in the literature. The primary goal of mineral processing, a technological process that involves the separation, enrichment, and purification of natural ores using physical and chemical techniques, is to effectively extract valuable mineral components from the raw ore while eliminating hazardous impurities or useless minerals. It often involves magnetic separation, flotation, gravity separation, electric separation, etc.
It is crucial to concentrate on scientific topics like flotation surface chemistry, mineral separation mechanism, and the simulation of polymagnetic media and magnetic particle behavior at a basic research level in order to support the industry's transition to a greener and more decarbonized economy.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute your research article, communication, or review to this Special Issue “Mineral Processing and Separation: Research, Innovation and Production”, which is dedicated to the separation processes, modeling, and analytical techniques of magnetic material extraction from ore or other materials.
Prof. Dr. Jiangang Ku

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.
