Methods and systems of the present disclosure are generally directed to purification of metal-containing material. For example, soft oxidation may be used to generate an oxygen-free product from a low-quality alloy of a base metal. The oxygen-free product may be electrolyzed directly to generate a higher-quality alloy of the base metal—namely, an alloy with higher weight percentage of the base metal and, thus, lower weight percentage of tramp elements. As compared to recycling the base metal with a metal-air electrochemical cell, the methods and systems of the present disclosure may facilitate forming high-quality recycled metal (e.g., aluminum) using significantly less energy.
