Aims and Scope
The Nonferrous Metals (Extractive Metallurgy) aims to publish the latest developments in cutting-edge technologies, research, and applications in the fields of non-ferrous metal smelting and environmental protection. The journal covers metallurgical processes, new materials, and production practices related to over 60 types of metals, including light non-ferrous metals, heavy non-ferrous metals, precious metals, rare and rare earth metals.
The journal publishes 12 issues annually, research and application areas including but not limited to:
(1) Theoretical research: Advancing the theoretical framework and concepts for promoting technological progress in the fields of non-ferrous metal smelting and environmental protection;
(2) Process research: Various process technologies and methods used to understand, interpret, and evaluate data and phenomena related to non-ferrous metal smelting and environmental protection;
(3) New materials: Research and development of new materials related to non-ferrous metal smelting and environmental protection;
(4) Production practice: Equipment and technological innovation related to non-ferrous metal smelting and environmental protection industrial production;
(5) Metallurgical History: Archaeological excavations of ancient metallurgical relics, development of metallurgical technology, and cultural exchanges related to it;
(6) Artificial Intelligence and Information Technology: Applications of data mining, machine learning, predictive analysis, data management, software development, and network technology in nonferrous metal smelting and environmental protection;
(7) Digital twin and virtual reality technology: Any new digital technology such as digital twin and virtual reality that may promote the development of non-ferrous metal smelting, environmental protection, etc.
