The complexity of models based on first-principles restricts their direct use, while purely data-driven models often fail in dynamic industrial environments, leading to poor generalization. To address these limitations, this study integrates classical mathematical models of froth flotation processes with conventional deep learning methods to construct physics-informed neural networks. The models are trained, evaluated, and tested on datasets generated from a digital twin model of flotation cells that merges real-process data with physics-based simulations, with data collected over nearly half a year at a five-minute sampling rate.

This review examines the most recent advancements in purification techniques used to separate vanadium from complex solutions, with a particular focus on ion exchange resins, solvent extraction, and chemical precipitation. Key intrinsic factors influencing the selection of these methods, including solution composition, pH, and the presence of competing ions, are discussed in detail. Additionally, the review highlights the fundamental principles underlying each purification approach, offering a comparison of their efficiency, selectivity, and scalability. The challenges associated with each method are also explored, particularly those related to operational costs and environmental sustainability. Recent research efforts aimed at improving these techniques, such as the development of more selective adsorbents and the integration of greener technologies, are examined to provide a comprehensive outlook on the future of vanadium purification.

This is done through an electrodialysis process, placing the clay slurry in the anodic section and water in the cathodic section. In this work, the effect of temperature and percentage of solids of the slurry on the lithium extraction kinetics is studied and it is found that the temperature favours the extraction kinetics, but the solids percentage affects it negatively. The extraction of lithium from clay-type carbonates is feasible under the following initial operating conditions: temperature close to 25 °C, solids content at 10 % (weight/weight, w/w) and natural pH of the clay slurry (pH<sub>natural</sub> 10, approximately).

To address these issues and promote comprehensive utilization of solid waste resources in the aluminum industry, along with energy conservation and emission reduction, we propose a novel “aluminum-containing resources chlorination-electrolysis” process. This study primarily investigates the repurification of products derived from the chlorination of aluminum-containing resource pellets.
