The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Mineral Science
the chair
You are cordially invited to participate in the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Mineral Science, sponsored by the MDPI open access journal Minerals. This was a new initiative in 2018 (https://sciforum.net/conference/IECMS2018) which affords researchers of mineral science opportunity for researchers of minerals science to present their research and exchange ideas with their colleagues. We take full advantage of the Internet, without the need to travel or commit participation expenses. The second conference will be organized around the following eight themes:
-
Session A: Mineral Processing and Metallurgy;
-
Session B: Mineral Deposit Genesis;
-
Session C: Environmental Mineralogy and Biomineralization;
-
Session D: Mineral Geochemistry and Geochronology;
-
Session E: Crystallography and Physical Chemistry of Minerals;
-
Session F: Mineral Exploration Methods;
-
Session G: Clays, Nanominerals and Engineered Nanomaterials;
-
Session H: Analysis and Visualization of Large Datasets in Mineralogy.
We are also open to other subject areas with thematic importance. This is a virtual conference held at www.sciforum.net/. Sciforum.net is a platform developed and sponsored by MDPI to organize electronic conferences and provide our community with the necessary technical support to host digital conferences. Participation is free of charge—both for authors and attendees. Accepted papers will be gathered in the Proceedings of the conference. Selected extended versions of the papers will be published in the Special Issue of Minerals (ISSN 2075-163X; IF: 2.380) with a discount of 20% on the Article Processing Charge.
I look forward to the exciting discussions as well as new ideas and perspectives that will come out of this e-conference.

The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Mineral Science established the Best Paper Awards to acknowledge the support of the conference participants and to recognize their outstanding scientific accomplishments. Nominated candidates are selected by thecommittes based on the rigor of their science, the significance of their contribution to the field, and the originality of their work. The Best Paper Award winners are as follows:
Characterization, Classification, Dry High Intensity Magnetic Separation (DHIMS) and Re-Grinding Techniques to Improve the Mineral Performance of Sn-Ta-Nb Mineral Concentrate
Jennire Nava Rosario, Juan Menéndez Aguado, Teresa Llorens González
