Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange is an international journal that publishes original research papers, reviews, and notes that address all aspects of solvent extraction, ion exchange, and closely related methods involving, for example, liquid membranes, extraction chromatography, supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, microfluidics, and adsorption.
We welcome submissions that look at:
·          The underlying principles in solvent extraction and ion exchange
·          Solvent extraction and ion exchange process development
·          New materials or reagents, their syntheses and properties
·          Computational methods of molecular design and simulation
·          Advances in equipment, fluid dynamics, and engineering
·          Interfacial phenomena, kinetics, and coalescence
·          Spectroscopic and diffraction analysis of structure and dynamics
·          Host-guest chemistry, ion receptors, and molecular recognition
Systems of primary interest effect the selective distribution of solution species to immiscible-liquid or solid phases. Metal ion separations constitute the focus of the journal, but papers on the separation of organic compounds and stereo-isomers are also encouraged. The journal has historically been a popular choice for papers on nuclear separations involving actinides, lanthanides, and fission products. Papers dealing with hydrometallurgical extraction and separations are especially welcome, from ore processing to recycling.
We also run special issues that explore focused subject matter that is of current interest to our readers. These special issues are handled by volunteer Guest Editors.
Submissions can take the form of:
·          Original articles
·          Notes that describe novel work of a limited nature or significant work in progress
·          Critical reviews
·          Letters and announcements
The Editors reserve the right to reject without peer review any papers deemed unsuitable. All papers deemed suitable will go through a single-blind peer-review process before publication. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions regarding the suitability of your article.
Submissions should be sent to either Kenneth L. Nash, knash@wsu.edu, or Bruce A. Moyer, moyerba@ornl.gov.
