Vanadium & Titanium is the world’s first interdisciplinary academic journal dedicated to advancing research in vanadium and titanium related sciences, engineering and technology. The journal serves as a global platform for fundamental science and cutting-edge investigations spanning the entire lifecycle of vanadium and titanium resources-from extraction and metallurgy to advanced material development, chemical engineering, and environmental stewardship. By integrating knowledge from sustainable extraction, advanced materials, and cross-disciplinary engineering, the journal aims to accelerate the development of vanadium- and titanium-based solutions for global technological and sustainability challenges.

The Journal’s scope covers, but not limited to,

• Mineral Engineering, Resource Development & Green Extraction: Vanadium and titanium ores: mining and mineral processing, efficient chemical and electrochemical metal extractions, phase equilibrium and process modeling, particularly those based on AI-aided machine learning. Vanadium-titanium resources recycling and upcycling: advanced recovery from industrial and urban wastes and circular process designs. Carbon-neutral processes: hydrogen- and other non-carbon-reductant based metallurgy, electric smelting, and integrated decarbonization technologies.

• Material Science & Engineering: Alloys: affordable, high-strength and corrosion-resistant alloys for aerospace, transport, energy, medical and other advanced applications. Catalytic materials: catalysts and catalyst support for chemical conversion and environmental treatment. Energy storage materials: electrode and support materials, and electrolytes for rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, and their hybrid derivatives such as flow batteries and supercapatteries. Functional materials: vanadium- and titanium-based shape memory alloys, biomedical materials, chromic materials, and other advanced and specialist materials.

• Chemical Engineering: Thermodynamics and kinetics: reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, and mass transport dynamics. Separation and purification: solvent extraction, adsorption and absorption, membrane separation, and crystallization for the production of high-purity chemicals. Process engineering: process design, intensification and scale-up for feasibility verification and commercial manufacturing.

• Environmental Solutions: Emission control: advanced oxidation, adsorption, and multi-phase flow dynamics for reduced smelting emissions. Ecological restoration: phytoremediation and microbial remediation of mining-affected soils. Life cycle assessment: metrics for sustainable mining, resource regeneration and reuse, and circular economy.
