Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing

Aims & Scope

Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing is an international, open access journal which covers theoretical approaches and their practical applications in all aspects of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy.

Criteria for publication in the Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing journal are novelty, quality and current interest.

Manuscripts which only make routine use of minor extensions to well established methodologies are not appropriate for the journal.

Topics of interest Analytical techniques and applied mineralogy Computer applications Comminution, classification and sorting Froth flotation Solid-liquid separation Gravity concentration Magnetic and electric separation Hydro and biohydrometallurgy Extractive metallurgy Recycling and mineral wastes Environmental aspects of mineral processing and other mineral processing related subjects.
