The paper introduces hydrometallurgical methods to recycle wastes of vanadium pentoxide chemical fabrication. Concentrates with high V2O5 content can be obtained through counterflow leaching and reduction precipitation. Moreover, suitable vanadium solutions for hydrolysis and precipitation can be obtained through multistage counterflow leaching. The paper also provides detailed consumption and technological parameters.
The paper describes hydrometallurgical methods to recycle wastes of vanadium pentoxide chemical fabrication. Sludges containing a significant amount of V2O5 can be considered as an additional source of raw materials for vanadium production. We studied the one-stage leaching method using various iron-based reductants for converting V5+ to V4+ in a solution allowing to precipitate V when its concentration in the solution is low. As a result of the reduction leaching with further precipitation, we obtained concentrates with V2O5 content of 22-26% and a high amount of harmful impurities. Multistage counterflow leaching can be used to fabricate solutions with vanadium pentoxide concentration suitable for vanadium precipitation by hydrolysis and adding ammonium salts. The solutions with V2O5 content of approximate to 15 g/L can be obtained from the initial sludge by three-stage counterflow vanadium leaching. A concentrate with a content of 78 wt% V2O5 can be precipitated from these solutions at pH = 2.4 by adding ammonium chloride. Additionally, concentrate with V2O5 content of approximate to 94 wt% was precipitated from the solution with a concentration of >20 g/L V2O5 obtained from the roasted sludge. The concentrates were purified for increasing the vanadium content to 5-7%. The consumption and technological parameters of the considered processes are presented in the paper.
