Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CO2 is a greenhouse gas and one of the culprits of global warming. In order to solve the global environmental crisis, reducing carbon dioxide emissions is urgent. Many carbon dioxide emissions often accompany many high-temperature metallurgical processes, such as iron making, aluminum electrolysis, and pyrometallurgical refining of crude copper. How to reduce carbon emissions is one of the key issues that need to be addressed in metallurgical processes.
In these metallurgical processes, thermodynamic properties have always been one of the core subjects, especially those of iron and steel metallurgy. Reducing carbon emissions requires thermodynamics as a theoretical guide. On the other hand, with the development of science and technology, the metallurgical industry continuously requires improving product quality and developing new products. It is increasingly urgent to study the thermodynamics involved in metallurgical processes.
This Special Issue includes but is not limited to research on thermodynamics for CO2 reduction or comprehensive utilization in metallurgical processes, clean steel production, efficient resource utilization, etc.
We expect scholars and researchers from academic and industrial circles worldwide to contribute to the Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com 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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
