The application discloses an extraction
solvent and an extraction method for stepwise
recovery of
vanadium and
chromium in a solution by steric hindrance effect of an
amide extractant, wherein the extraction
solvent is composed of extraction
solvent A and extraction solvent B; the extraction solvent A is composed of a large steric hindrance
amide extractant and
diluent A; the extraction solvent B is composed of a small steric hindrance
amide extractant and
diluent B; the large steric hindrance amide extractant and the small steric hindrance amide extractant are both
alkyl-
substituted amide extractants; and the
diluent A and the diluent B are both
inert organic solvents. The steric hindrance effect of the amide extractant in the extraction solvent is utilized to stepwise recover
vanadium and
chromium in the solution, and high-purity
chromium-containing stripping liquid and
vanadium-containing stripping liquid are obtained, which has the advantages of high extraction rate, high
separation coefficient, high product purity, fast extraction
kinetics, good regeneration of the extraction solvent and green harmlessness.
