Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange is an international journal that publishes original research papers, reviews, and notes that address all aspects of solvent extraction, ion exchange, and closely related methods involving, for example, liquid membranes, extraction chromatography, supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, microfluidics, and adsorption.
We welcome submissions that look at:
- The underlying principles in solvent extraction and ion exchange
- Solvent extraction and ion exchange process development
- New materials or reagents, their syntheses and properties
- Computational methods of molecular design and simulation
- Advances in equipment, fluid dynamics, and engineering
- Interfacial phenomena, kinetics, and coalescence
- Spectroscopic and diffraction analysis of structure and dynamics
- Host-guest chemistry, ion receptors, and molecular recognition
Systems of primary interest effect the selective distribution of solution species to immiscible-liquid or solid phases. Metal ion separations constitute the focus of the journal, but papers on the separation of organic compounds and stereo-isomers are also encouraged. The journal has historically been a popular choice for papers on nuclear separations involving actinides, lanthanides, and fission products. Papers dealing with hydrometallurgical extraction and separations are especially welcome, from ore processing to recycling.
We also run special issues that explore focused subject matter that is of current interest to our readers. These special issues are handled by volunteer Guest Editors.
Submissions can take the form of:
- Original articles
- Notes that describe novel work of a limited nature or significant work in progress
- Critical reviews
- Letters and announcements
The Editors reserve the right to reject without peer review any papers deemed unsuitable. All papers deemed suitable will go through a single-anonymized peer-review process before publication. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions regarding the suitability of your article.
This journal uses Taylor & Francis’ Submission Portal to manage the submission process. The Submission Portal allows you to see your submissions across Taylor & Francis’ journal portfolio in one place. To submit your manuscript please click here.

Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange focuses on publishing original research papers, reviews, and notes that address all aspects of solvent extraction, ion exchange, and closely related methods. The primary emphasis is on underlying principles, process development, and new materials or reagents. Periodically, the journal publishes special issues dedicated to focused subject matter of interest to the readership of the journal.
Original articles, notes, and critical reviews will be considered for publication. Original articles must be of reasonably broad scope and of significance to the solvent extraction or the ion exchange communities. Notes will ordinarily describe novel work of a limited nature or particularly significant work in progress.
Papers will be refereed and submissions are welcomed from around the world (though published only in English). The Editors reserve the right to reject without peer review any papers deemed unsuitable. Articles whose sole focus is the development of an analytical method are discouraged. The Editors welcome preliminary inquiries regarding the suitability of prospective articles.
