Vanadium is the new battery cathode chemistry, says Pure Lithium Corporation CEO. “You don’t hear a lot about vanadium –– it’s going to be the new cathode chemistry. It’s pretty perfect for lithium metal. And you can fit two lithium per one vanadium in it, and it won’t release oxygen. The stuff is so stable at temperature, it’s better than LFP. It’s better than anything,” Emilie Bodoin said. “We have a very smooth, even elementally pure piece of lithium. So you’ve just taken a ton of cost and processing and travel out of the biggest problem with the battery.” https://lnkd.in/drXeEWzz #vanadium $AVL MINING.com

A mere 5% improvement in mineral recovery at existing plants would have major impact on global production and closing the expected gap between supply and demand of critical metals for the energy transition. Our Sofi Filter® can be employed to further recover fine valuables that escape conventional mineral processing. We draw from extensive experience and expertise in (ultra)fine filtration to deliver our customers in mining with solutions, that have superior performance against conventional clarification filtration and come with decreased total cost of ownership. Take a look at the story published by Innovation News Network 👇 to learn more about us, and reach out to us to discuss your specific needs. #mining #mineralprocessing #innovation #filtration #SofiFilter

BRIMM - University of British Columbia: A lack of mining innovation threatens the energy transition The Bradshaw Research Institute for Minerals and Mining discusses its impressive research agenda that sets out to tackle the complex issues facing mining innovation. Global consumption of raw materials is set to rise by a further 60% by 2060, having already increased fourfold since 1970, according to the United Nations.

Sofi Filtration delivers advanced fine particle filtration for #mining operations. Employing its extensive experience and expertise in fine particle separation, Sofi Filtration aims at boosting recovery and water efficiency at existing concentrators. With the mining industry looking to ramp up #production in response to the increased demand for metals driven by the #energy transition and geopolitical tensions, the development of new mines must be accompanied by further efficiency improvements in recovery at existing concentrators. Up to 40% of valuables are lost in mining and mineral processing, and a mere 5% improvement in existing concentrators would have a major impact: 1.1 million tonnes of #copper or 165,000 tonnes of #nickel per annum. Whereas the development of new mines is time-consuming and carries major risks over fluctuating metal prices, efficiency investments are possible today. Riina Salmimies and her team are doing some fantastic work in the #European mining #innovation space.

Where do we source the lithium, cobalt, and other metal ores necessary for the production of wind turbines and solar panels? As the demand for these minerals increases, some are turning to deep-sea mining. The seafloor spans millions of square kilometers and is rich in metal ores. However, deep-sea mining is not without its risks: it can create sediments that may harm marine life, generate sound pollution that could disturb whales, and result in waste discharge from mining vessels. The sea is the world’s largest carbon sink, and mining projects that could harm the microscopic creatures essential for carbon processing pose a serious risk. Below is a thought-provoking article from the World Resources Institute that explores the necessity of deep-sea mining. It discusses both long-term and short-term alternatives, as well as the ongoing discussions about regulating mining in international waters.

Zapping rocks with a high-voltage pulse – similar to a lightning strike – could be the answer to decarbonising the mining industry according to researchers from The University of Queensland. Researchers from UQ’s Sustainable Minerals Institute have developed High Voltage Pulse (HVP) technology, which uses a short-pulsed discharge similar to a lightning strike, to selectively break mineralised ores while keeping barren rocks intact. This research is funded through the Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer program, which also has the support of several mining industry partners, including Newmont Australia and JKTech Pty Ltd. https://lnkd.in/gaqR3sAZ #mining #decarbonisation #criticalminerals Christian Antonio Kym Runge Rick Valenta Caroline Stott Isaac J Coonan

Lithium Carbonate January Production Analysis & February Forecast "The domestic production of lithium carbonate in January was about 42000 tons, a month on month increase of -5.6% and a year-on-year increase of 15.6%. From the perspective of raw material situation, some lithium salt enterprises with pyroxene materials have reduced production due to the sluggish market and low mining and transportation efficiency at the winter mining end, resulting in reduced production.
