The invention relates to the field of production of
vanadium pentoxide and in particular relates to a method for preparing
vanadium pentoxide. The method comprises the following steps: (A) adding a
sulfuric acid solution and an additive into stone
coal, thereby obtaining a first mixture; (B) adding the first mixture into deionized water, stirring, and performing
solid-liquid separation; (C) standing the
liquid phase, thereby obtaining a first precipitate, separating the first precipitate, adding
ammonium bicarbonate into the first supernatant, stirring to be uniform, continuously standing and separating a second precipitate, thereby obtaining the second supernatant; (D) adding
calcium hydroxide and / or
calcium oxide into the second supernatant, thus obtaining a third precipitate and the third supernatant; (E) saturating an
ion exchange resin, eluting by using
sodium hydroxide, thereby obtaining a
vanadium solution; and (F) adding a pH
regulator into the vanadium solution, adding
hydrogen peroxide, finally adding
ammonium chloride, performing
centrifugal separation, obtaining a precipitate
ammonium metavanadate, carrying out an
ammonium metavanadate decomposition reaction, thereby obtaining the vanadium
pentoxide. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, the cost is low, and three wastes are avoided.
