Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vanadium-molybdenum separation technology, specifically a method for separating vanadium and molybdenum from the alkaline leaching solution of spent SCR denitrification catalyst. Background Technology
[0002] With the steady advancement of dual-carbon goals and policy guidance, the sustainable development of valuable resources, such as the regeneration and recycling of spent SCR catalysts, has become a research focus. For SCR catalysts deactivated due to dust blockage and alkali metal poisoning, purging and low-concentration acid leaching can restore their catalytic activity. However, SCR catalysts whose structure is damaged and cannot be regenerated are rich in valuable elements such as Ti, W, V, and Mo. To reduce resource waste, appropriate methods are needed for their effective recovery. Currently, alkaline leaching is widely used for the separation and recovery of TiO2 support and active components such as V and W from spent SCR catalysts. However, W in the alkaline leaching solution has similar properties to V and Mo, making separation difficult.
[0003] The recovery of vanadium (W), vanadium (V), and molybdenum (Mo) from spent SCR catalysts has significant economic and environmental value. However, due to their similar forms in the leachate, traditional separation methods are often inefficient or costly. Exploring new, more efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical vanadium-molybdenum separation technologies to effectively separate and recover vanadium and molybdenum from spent SCR catalysts, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing costs and environmental impact, and achieving resource recycling, is of significant resource and environmental importance.
[0004] CN104831075A discloses a method for separating and purifying vanadium and molybdenum from waste vanadium-molybdenum SCR catalysts. The method involves pretreating the catalyst to obtain titanium slag and a vanadium-molybdenum solution; extracting and separating the vanadium-molybdenum solution, then acidifying and further treating the resulting molybdenum-rich raffinate to obtain molybdic acid; back-extracting the obtained vanadium-rich organic phase, followed by a two-stage extraction process to extract vanadium, and then back-extracting again to obtain a vanadium-rich solution. This vanadium-rich solution is then further treated to produce vanadium pentoxide. While this method can separate, recover, and purify vanadium and molybdenum from industrially waste vanadium-molybdenum SCR catalysts, it requires multiple extraction and back-extraction processes, resulting in a long overall process flow, high equipment requirements, high energy consumption, and the generation of large amounts of wastewater that require treatment, leading to high environmental costs.
[0005] CN114574699A describes a method for preparing ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate from a vanadium-molybdenum-containing solution. This method achieves stepwise separation of vanadium and molybdenum in the solution by adding a calcium source in stages, and similarly uses a calcium source to separate molybdenum from the alkaline solution, thus obtaining ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate products. While this method can prepare ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate from a vanadium-molybdenum-containing solution, the stepwise separation using calcium sources only produces calcium vanadate and calcium molybdate. Stepwise addition of ammonium sources is still required to prepare ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate, and a large amount of ammonia nitrogen wastewater is generated that needs treatment. The entire process requires strict operational control, and the separation of vanadium and molybdenum is not complete.
[0006] Although these methods have made some progress in laboratory-scale research in recent years, they still face some challenges in practical industrial applications, including improving separation efficiency, reducing costs, reducing environmental pollution, and the feasibility of large-scale application.

[0030] Comparative Example 1 For the comparison of leaching effects, only wet milling leaching reaction was carried out, and high-temperature and high-pressure leaching reaction was not carried out in the autoclave. The other conditions were the same as in Example 1.
[0031] Comparative Example 2 For the comparison of impurity removal effects, calcium carbonate was added for the impurity removal reaction, and the other conditions were the same as in Example 3.
[0032] Comparative Example 3 The vanadium-molybdenum separation effect was compared. No calcium oxide was added to precipitate vanadium, and only evaporation crystallization was performed. The other conditions were the same as in Example 5.
[0033] Comparative Example 4 In the comparison of vanadium-molybdenum separation effects, only calcium oxide was added to precipitate vanadium, without evaporation and crystallization, and the other conditions were the same as in Example 7.

[0036] MoO3 recovery rate = n / n0 × 100%. n0 is the molar amount of MoO3 in the leachate. n is the actual molar amount of MoO3 recovered from molybdate.
[0037] Table 1. Purity test content of vanadium-rich crystals and tungstates prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4.
[0038]
[0039] After testing, Examples 1-7 demonstrated that by using waste denitrification catalyst for alkaline leaching, and then removing impurities from the leachate, calcium oxide was first added for calcification to precipitate vanadium and recover V2O5, followed by evaporation and crystallization to recover MoO3. This achieved efficient leaching, purification, and collection of vanadium and molybdenum. The resulting calcium vanadate and molybdate have the advantages of high yield, high output value, and high purity, making the process for selling the products to downstream processing plants simpler.
[0040] In Comparative Example 1, the spent denitrification catalyst was only subjected to wet grinding and alkaline leaching, without high-temperature and high-pressure leaching in an autoclave. This resulted in only the vanadium and molybdenum, which are easily leached from the surface of the spent denitrification catalyst, reacting with the alkaline solution. The vanadium and molybdenum, which have lower activity and more stable structures in the remaining catalysts, could not react and leach out of the solution because the reaction conditions were not met. Therefore, the recovery rates of vanadium and molybdenum were relatively low.
[0041] In Comparative Example 2, after changing the impurity removal agent, the leachate contained a large amount of silicates and arsenates. If these impurity salts were not removed, they would crystallize and precipitate together with vanadium and molybdenum during the separation process at the downstream end. A large amount of silicates would also seriously affect the solid-liquid separation effect. Calcium carbonate has a relatively stable structure and is difficult to react with silicates, so the impurity removal effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is very necessary to use a suitable impurity removal agent for impurity removal.
[0042] In Comparative Example 3, only calcium oxide was added to precipitate vanadium without evaporation and concentration. Vanadium in the purified solution could only be precipitated out in the form of calcium vanadate. However, sodium molybdate in the purified solution has a high solubility and does not react with calcium oxide under low alkaline conditions, thus failing to achieve the purpose of molybdenum recovery.
[0043] In the comparative examples, only evaporation and crystallization were performed without the addition of calcium oxide to precipitate vanadium. Since vanadium and molybdenum have similar structures, their solubility in the same alkaline solution is basically the same, and the separation of vanadium and molybdenum cannot be achieved by simple evaporation, concentration and enrichment.
[0044] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the disclosed embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
