Low Temperature Sulfuric Acid Ripening-water Leaching for Vanadium Extraction from Stone Coal Vanadium Ore

Abstract

This is an article in the field of metallurgical engineering. The vanadium ore with vanadium containing sericite and illite in Shaanxi province was taken as the research object, low-temperature sulfuric acid ripening-water leaching process was used to extract vanadium. The effects of ripening temperature, ripening time, sulfuric acid dosage, sodium chloride dosage, leaching temperature, leaching time and liquid-solid ratio on vanadium leaching rate were investigated. The results show when 25% sulfuric acid and 0.8% sodium chloride are added to the stone coal vanadium ore, the sample is aged at 130 ℃ for 8 h, and the sample is leached at 55 ℃ for 2 h under the conditions of liquid-solid ratio of 1.5∶1, the vanadium leaching rate can reach more than 89%. This indicates that it is feasible to adopt low temperature sulfuric acid ripening and water leaching process to extract stone coal type vanadium ore.
