Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy

The Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy is a peer-reviewed journal presenting original and of-high-potential-impact processes and related research, ideally thought-provoking or game-changing, with an articulated and quantified relation to sustainability in the broader sense, supporting the field/industry/sector in its transition to climate neutrality and circularity, and fulfillment of the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy is a journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society that seeks to present:

• Metallurgical processes and related research aimed at improving the sustainability of metal-producing industries, both from a unit operation and system point of view
• Innovative approaches and solutions that minimize resource and energy consumption; improve materials recovery, reuse, and recycling; and ultimately minimize environmental impacts
• Work that takes a systemic, multi-dimensional approach where challenges and solutions are placed in a broader context, such as policy, economics, product-design, and value chains

• Contribute to advancing the science and serve as a catalyst for tangible change toward more sustainable practices in the metallurgical industrial sector
• Cover novel metallurgical processes and related research that lead to operations of smaller environmental footprint
• Include research on utilization, treatment, and management of residues such as slags and ashes
• Discuss new techniques, as well as optimization of existing processes, including utilization, treatment, and management of metallurgically generated residues
