Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spent catalyst treatment technology, and specifically to a method for recovering vanadium from spent catalysts and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Vanadium is a rare metal characterized by its high melting point and low density. In steelmaking, trace amounts of vanadium can significantly improve the strength of steel; in the chemical industry, vanadium is widely used as a catalyst; and in the new energy field, vanadium redox flow batteries, as aqueous batteries, offer high safety and can be used in large-scale energy storage systems.

[0003] Waste catalysts used in petroleum processing, especially hydrodemetallization catalysts from waste residue oil, often have high levels of vanadium (V) deposits. Effective recovery and reuse of these metals from waste catalysts would facilitate the resource utilization of waste hydrotreating catalysts. From a petroleum processing perspective, while refining petroleum fully utilizes hydrocarbons, the deposition of vanadium on catalysts and its initial enrichment, followed by purification and recovery through solvent extraction, also improves the efficiency of petroleum resource utilization.

[0004] CN105274344A discloses a method for recovering molybdenum and vanadium from waste petroleum catalysts. The method includes: sequentially deoiling the waste catalyst by air burning, pulverizing, calcining after mixing with sodium carbonate, then leaching the resulting calcined material with water and adjusting the pH of the leaching solution to alkaline, adding ammonium chloride to the leaching solution to precipitate vanadium, and finally enriching the vanadium-precipitated solution using ion exchange to obtain an ammonium molybdate solution. While these processes can improve molybdenum recovery efficiency, their operation is complex, generates significant amounts of waste, and incurs high treatment costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of complex vanadium recovery processes, high extractant usage, and large amounts of waste emissions in existing technologies. This invention provides a method for recovering vanadium from waste catalysts and its application. This method features a simple process flow and a recovery product V with both high and low purity and yield.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for recovering vanadium from spent catalysts, the method comprising:

[0007] (1) The waste catalyst was leached by contacting an organic acid solution to obtain a leachate containing Mo and V;

[0008] The waste catalyst contains V, calculated as V2O5, at a content of not less than 25 wt%.

[0009] The leachate includes V and optionally at least one of Mo, Al, Fe, Co, and Ni;

[0010] (2) Adjust the pH of the leachate to be no higher than 4, and then add an oxidant to react and obtain a raw material solution; wherein the molar ratio of the oxidant to the organic acid is (0.2-0.6):1;

[0011] (3) The raw material liquid is contacted with the extractant to extract and obtain an extract containing V;

[0012] (4) The extract is washed with an acid solution and then back-extracted to obtain a V-rich solution; wherein the concentration of the acid solution is 0.1-2.5 mol / L.

[0013] The second aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-described method for recovering vanadium from spent catalysts in the treatment of waste oil hydrotreating catalysts.

[0014] The complex composition of metal elements in industrial waste catalysts, especially the presence of molybdenum (Mo) in waste hydrogenation catalysts, can affect vanadium (V) recovery during extraction. This invention addresses this issue by using an organic acid solution to leach the waste catalyst, followed by an oxidant to break down the organic acid complexing agent. An extractant is then used to achieve one-step extraction of V from the solution. The extracted phase is washed with low acid and then back-extracted to obtain purified V components with a purity exceeding 99%. The method proposed in this invention can effectively and selectively extract vanadium from waste catalyst leachates containing organic acid complexing agents. The process is simple, the operating conditions are mild, and it is easily implemented industrially. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The endpoints and any values ​​of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.

[0016] The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for recovering vanadium from spent catalysts, the method comprising:

[0017] (1) The waste catalyst was leached by contacting an organic acid solution to obtain a leachate containing Mo and V;

[0018] The waste catalyst contains V, calculated as V2O5, at a content of not less than 25 wt%.

[0019] The leachate includes V and optionally at least one of Mo, Al, Fe, Co, and Ni;

[0020] (2) Adjust the pH of the leachate to be no higher than 4, and then add an oxidant to react and obtain a raw material solution; wherein the molar ratio of the oxidant to the organic acid is (0.2-0.6):1;

[0021] (3) The raw material liquid is contacted with the extractant to extract and obtain an extract containing V;

[0022] (4) The extract is washed with an acid solution and then back-extracted to obtain a V-rich solution; wherein the concentration of the acid solution is 0.1-2.5 mol / L.

[0023] In existing technologies, strong acid solutions are typically used to leach metal components from spent catalysts. However, when organic acids are used for leaching, the presence of complexing agents in the leachate makes it difficult to directly extract vanadium. In this invention, step (2) treats the leachate, which breaks down the organic acid complexing agents. Based on this, an extractant is then used to achieve one-step extraction of V from the solution, significantly reducing the difficulty of metal extraction. After washing with an acid solution and then back-extraction, other metal components such as Mo that may be present in the extractate can be removed, resulting in purified V with a purity higher than 99%.

[0024] This invention does not have special requirements regarding the source of the spent catalyst; any spent industrial catalyst containing a certain amount of V can be used in the method provided by this invention, wherein the V content, calculated as V₂O₅, is not less than 25 wt%. In particular, spent residue oil hydrotreating catalysts obtained during petroleum processing, especially spent residue oil hydrodemetallization catalysts, typically use Mo as the active metal component and exhibit high V deposition after long-term use. In existing technologies, the simultaneous presence of Mo and V may affect the selective extraction effect of V. The method provided by this invention is particularly suitable for recovering V from the aforementioned spent catalysts, overcoming the influence of Mo and achieving a high recovery and purification effect.
