Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy: Transactions of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy

Aims & Scope

Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy is devoted to scientific, engineering, and economic aspects of the preparation, separation, extraction, and purification of ores, metals, and mineral products by both physical and chemical methods.

Contributions on plant operation and techniques are encouraged, especially those bringing together scientific understanding of a process with its engineering and economic implications to generate conclusions of practical benefit.

The journal also covers laboratory development of new processes and discussions of the industrial significance of laboratory scale investigations.
