Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of metal minerals, and particularly relates to a method for comprehensive treatment of vanadium-titanium ore. Background Art
[0002] Vanadium, as an important microalloying element, is widely used in fields such as metallurgy, chemical engineering, and aerospace. It can significantly improve the strength, toughness, ductility, etc. of steel, and can provide important support for the preparation of special steel. Vanadium-titanium ore is a complex ore closely symbiotic with magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ), ilmenorutile (2FeO·TiO 2 ), magnesia-alumina spinel (MgO·Al 2 O 3 ), and ilmenite (FeO·TiO 2 ). It is a multi-element symbiotic ore mainly composed of vanadium, titanium, and iron elements, and associated with other useful elements such as cobalt, nickel, and chromium, and has high comprehensive utilization value.
[0003] At present, the traditional treatment methods for vanadium-titanium ore mainly include two categories: direct vanadium extraction (iron first and then vanadium) and indirect vanadium extraction (vanadium first and then iron). The methods of direct vanadium extraction include sodium roasting - water leaching, calcification roasting - alkali leaching, and salt-free roasting - acid leaching, etc. However, the introduction of sodium salts will have an adverse impact on subsequent iron smelting; in the calcification roasting - alkali leaching process, the leaching effect of strong alkali is not ideal and the cost is too high; while the ammonia leaching has a lower leaching rate and a harsh operating environment; in the salt-free roasting - acid leaching process, too high roasting temperature will cause the volatilization of vanadium oxides, resulting in serious vanadium loss. When further extracting vanadium from low-grade vanadium extraction tailings, high-efficiency vanadium leaching can be achieved by reducing the pH, but the obtained leaching solution has a low vanadium concentration and a high impurity content. And because after the vanadium-containing material is roasted, vanadium exists in the form of pentavalent vanadium. In the case of a low pH and a high pentavalent vanadium concentration in the leaching solution, the solution system is unstable, and vanadium is prone to hydrolysis and precipitation, resulting in loss. Recycling vanadium from low-concentration vanadium-containing solutions can be classified into ion exchange method, extraction method, evaporation concentration method, etc. Through comprehensive comparison, these methods all have the problems of high cost and certain environmental protection risks. The typical method of indirect vanadium extraction is the blast furnace - converter process for vanadium extraction. However, when smelting vanadium-titanium ore in a blast furnace, there are problems such as a large system, a long and complex process, high energy consumption, high cost, a large amount of atmospheric pollutant emissions, and serious environmental pollution. Under the blast furnace smelting conditions, the viscosities of the slag and molten iron are large and the fluidity is poor, which makes the smelting difficult and even unable to meet the smelting requirements. At the same time, the recovery of titanium resources is poor, and a large amount of final slag is discarded or landfilled, causing serious pollution to the surrounding environment (especially the groundwater system); while the existing non-blast furnace smelting of vanadium-titanium ore resources has problems such as a small single-unit production scale, low titanium slag grade, and ineffective utilization of titanium resources. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art, such as low vanadium recovery rate, ineffective recovery of titanium, high cost, and serious environmental pollution when treating vanadium-titanium ore, so as to provide a method for comprehensive treatment of vanadium-titanium ore.

[0019] Optionally, it further includes a step of removing impurities from the vanadium-containing solution; optionally, the operation of removing impurities includes performing an electrochemical reduction reaction to obtain a vanadium-containing electrolyte solution and impurities. Using the electrochemical reduction reaction does not require additional addition of a reducing agent.
[0020] Optionally, the voltage of the electrochemical reduction reaction is 0.6 to 2 V, the temperature is 70 to 90 °C, and the time is 0.5 to 8 h.
[0021] Optionally, the concentration of the sulfuric acid is 85 wt% to 98 wt%.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0026] The method for comprehensive treatment of vanadium-titanium ore provided by the present invention comprises the following steps: S1: adding sulfuric acid and an oxidant to the vanadium-titanium ore for oxidative leaching, followed by solid-liquid separation to obtain titanium-containing oxidative leaching residue and oxidative leaching filtrate; S2: taking the oxidative leaching filtrate, adding vanadium-titanium ore for neutralization reaction, followed by solid-liquid separation to obtain neutralization reaction residue and neutralization reaction filtrate; the neutralization reaction residue is returned to S1 to participate in oxidative leaching; S3: taking the neutralization reaction filtrate, performing condensation crystallization and solid-liquid separation to obtain condensate mother liquor and ferric sulfate crystals; S4: extracting the vanadium element from the condensate mother liquor, followed by separation to obtain a vanadium-containing solution and a raffinate, and the raffinate is returned to S1 to participate in oxidative leaching. This treatment method can simultaneously recover vanadium, titanium, and iron in the vanadium-titanium ore, enabling effective utilization of valuable resources. The acid consumption is low, and all materials are recycled internally. The process is short, the reaction is carried out under normal pressure throughout, the energy consumption is low, the operation is simple, and there is no hazardous waste discharge, which is environmentally friendly and can enhance the economic and social benefits of the vanadium-titanium ore. In this treatment method, vanadium-titanium ore is used in the neutralization reaction in S2, and the neutralization reaction residue obtained after the reaction is returned to S1 to participate in oxidative leaching, so that no additional external neutralizing reagent needs to be added in this treatment method, achieving full use of raw materials and reducing costs. In the whole treatment method, the only residue produced is the titanium-containing oxidative leaching residue obtained in S1, and this residue can be used for further extraction of metallic titanium, reducing waste. The raffinate produced in S4 is returned to S1 to participate in oxidative leaching, realizing the recycling of liquid resources and also reducing the waste of the remaining vanadium element. The prepared vanadium-containing solution can be used to prepare vanadium-containing materials such as vanadium pentoxide, ferrovanadium, and vanadium alloy; the ferric sulfate crystals can be used as a mordant and a coagulant for industrial wastewater, and also as an astringent and hemostatic agent in medicine.
[0027] In the method for comprehensive treatment of vanadium-titanium ore provided by the present invention, in S4, it further includes the step of measuring the concentration of vanadium in the condensate mother liquor. When the concentration of vanadium < 5 g / L, the condensate mother liquor is returned to S1 to participate in oxidative leaching; when the concentration of vanadium ≥ 5 g / L, the vanadium element in the condensate mother liquor is extracted, followed by separation to obtain a vanadium-containing solution and a raffinate, and the raffinate is returned to S1 to participate in oxidative leaching. Enriching the vanadium in the condensate mother liquor to a certain concentration before extraction saves the consumption of the extractant and the extraction time.
[0028] The method for comprehensive treatment of vanadium-titanium ore provided by the present invention further includes the step of purifying the vanadium-containing solution; optionally, the purification operation includes performing an electrochemical reduction reaction to obtain a vanadium-containing electrolyte solution and impurities. The vanadium-containing electrolyte solution obtained after impurity removal by electrochemical reduction reaction has high vanadium purity and low impurity content, and can be formulated and applied to a vanadium redox flow battery after preparation.
