Vanadium and 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.
