Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mining industry plays an important role in ensuring global energy supply and supporting global economic development. However, the development of mineral resources has also produced various negative effects on the ecological environment. In recent years, with increasing emphasis being placed on ecological resources and the environment in various countries, the traditional mining method of mineral resources is no longer suitable for the new development situation, and green mining is the inevitable trend of mining technology development in the future, through vigorously develo** green mining technology, reducing disturbance to the ecological environment as much as possible, and realizing the efficient utilization of resources. This is significant in promoting the sustainable development of resources and the coordination and unity of economic construction and ecological protection. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for new research and make progress in green mining technology. We welcome experts and scholars to submit high-quality research papers. Research topics should be related to green mining technology, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Mining without coal pillar;
- Narrow pillar of extra-thick coal seam;
- End-mining coal pillar;
- Sustainable mining;
- New gas extraction technology;
- Grouting process control of overlying strata separation;
- Mining area management and ecological restoration;
- Surface crack repair;
- Ecological restoration of mining damage;
- Mining overlying strata repair;
- Loss-reducing mining;
- Multi-element solid waste high-efficiency filling mining;
- Water resources protection in the mining area.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
