Mineral Processing & Extractive Metallurgy Review

Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review publishes both theoretical and practical papers relevant to technical, economic, and environmental issues in the handling, processing, and utilization of minerals. In addition to regular issues, special issues focusing on subjects of regional and topical significance will be published when the Editor feels there is sufficient interest among readers.

 

Two types of papers will be published:

(1) Review papers on particular topics in minerals processing and extractive metallurgy, including ore genesis; mineral properties and utilization; extraction, separation, and purification of metals and minerals; and post-treatment of effluents and tailings.

(2) Broadly significant research papers that are of general interest in the field. Research papers that are too narrowly focused or are based on only a small number of experiments will not be accepted.

 

Submissions will first be pre-reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. Those that do not meet editorial standards for grammar, clarity, quality of figures, and relevance to the mission of the journal will be returned without further review. papers that do meet editorial standards will be examined by 2-4 peer reviewers who are selected by the Editor-in-Chief as having relevant expertise. The reviewers will be allowed 3 weeks to complete their reviews. The Editor will then select papers for publication or revision based on the recommendations of the reviewers. Authors will receive copies of the reviewers' comments for use in making necessary revisions to their submissions.
