Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the characterization, separation, and recovery of elements and minerals from various sources, including mining waste, electronic waste, and natural geological formations. Studies investigate methods for element enrichment, such as electrostatic and magnetic separation, and leaching technologies for valuable metals like copper and rare earth elements. The journal also covers the hydrogeochemistry of water bodies, the behavior of minerals in geological repositories, and the application of spectroscopic databases for material identification in cultural heritage.
