The invention discloses a method for selectively separating and extracting
vanadium and
chromium from a solution containing the
vanadium and the
chromium. The method comprises the following steps: (1) NaHSO3 is added to reduce V (V) and Cr (VI) into V (IV) and Cr (III), (2) H2O2 is added to oxidize the V (IV) into V (V), (3) an
ion exchange column is used to selectively absorb anions containing the
vanadium, and
effluent before penetrating is collected, (4) the
chromium in the
ion exchange column is washed down, and the
effluent before penetrating is added to extract the chromium, (5) NaOH is used to elute resin carrying the vanadium to obtain eluant containing the vanadium, (6)
ammonium metavanadate is prepared from the eluant and then roasted to obtain V2O5, and (7) the potential of
hydrogen (PH)of a chromium solution is adjusted to enable the chromium to be separated out in the form of Cr(OH)3.nH2O, and then Cr2O3
powder is obtained through
roasting. The method for selectively separating and extracting the vanadium and the chromium from the solution containing the vanadium and the chromium achieves efficient separation and high-purity extraction of the vanadium and the chromium, the overall
recovery rate respectively reaches 82-90 % and 94-99 %, the purity of finished products respectively reaches 96-99 % and 94-97 %.
