Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of refining technology, specifically a method for deep vanadium extraction from vanadium-containing mud. Background Technology
[0002] Vanadium is an important strategic metal widely used in steel, chemical, and new energy industries, with market demand continuously increasing. Vanadium-containing slurry is a solid waste generated during vanadium smelting and chemical production processes, typically containing 0.5%-3.0% vanadium. Direct dumping or landfilling of this slurry not only wastes vanadium resources but also pollutes soil and groundwater due to the seepage of heavy metal ions, posing serious environmental risks. Therefore, achieving efficient extraction and resource utilization of vanadium from vanadium-containing slurry aligns with industrial policies promoting resource recycling and addresses solid waste pollution, possessing significant economic and environmental value.
[0003] Currently, the common processes for vanadium extraction from vanadium-containing slurry mainly include three steps: roasting, leaching, and vanadium precipitation. However, existing processes generally suffer from numerous technical defects, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly requirements of industrial production. In the roasting stage, traditional processes mostly use muffle furnaces for static roasting. This method results in uneven heating and insufficient mixing of the vanadium-containing slurry and flux, easily leading to vanadium lattice agglomeration. Some vanadium is trapped in the slurry matrix and cannot be effectively released, thus reducing subsequent leaching efficiency. At the same time, static roasting is time-consuming and energy-intensive, increasing production costs. In the leaching stage, most processes use only a single leaching agent, resulting in poor leaching selectivity. Not only is the vanadium leaching rate low, but a large amount of impurities are also leached along with it, making subsequent vanadium precipitation and purification difficult.
[0004] Current vanadium extraction technology from vanadium-containing mud suffers from problems such as low vanadium leaching rate, insufficient product purity, low resource utilization, high energy consumption, and serious pollution, making it difficult to balance economic, environmental, and social benefits.
[0005] Therefore, developing a method for deep vanadium extraction from vanadium-containing mud that can overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and achieve efficient extraction, high-purity recovery, and closed-loop utilization of vanadium has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for deep vanadium extraction from vanadium-containing mud.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] The method for deep vanadium extraction from vanadium-containing mud includes the following steps:
[0009] (1) Microwave-mechanical coupling roasting modification: Vanadium-containing slurry and sodium carbonate are mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 100:5.8-6.2 and placed in a microwave-mechanical coupling field for roasting. The microwave power is 200-300W and the frequency is 2.45GHz. The mechanical stirring speed is 30-60r / min. The roasting temperature is controlled at 550-650℃ and the roasting time is 1.5-2.5h. After roasting, the mixture is cooled to room temperature and pulverized to a particle size ≤1mm to obtain the roasted modified product.
[0010] (2) Composite synergistic leaching: The calcined modified product of step (1) is mixed with water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:1.2-1.5, sodium sulfate and sodium metabisulfite are added, the pH of the system is adjusted to 4.0-5.0, and leaching is carried out at 80-90℃ and stirring speed of 60-80r / min for 45-60min. The solid and liquid are separated to obtain vanadium-containing leachate and leachate residue.
[0011] The concentration of sodium sulfate in the addition system is 5-8 g / L, and the concentration of sodium metabisulfite in the addition system is 0.5-1.0 g / L;
[0012] (3) Graded oxidation precipitation of vanadium:
[0013] ① Primary vanadium precipitation: Add ammonium sulfate to the vanadium-containing leachate from step (2), according to the reaction of V2O5 and NH4. + Add the ammonium polyvanadate at a molar ratio of 1:1.5-1.8, adjust the pH to 1.8-2.0, stir the reaction at 80-100 r / min for 30-40 min, and precipitate the coarse precipitate of ammonium polyvanadate. Filter to separate the coarse precipitate and the primary vanadium filtrate.
[0014] ②Oxidation adjustment: Add sodium chlorate to the primary vanadium precipitate filtrate, the dosage being equal to the V concentration in the filtrate. 3+ Oxidation is completed within 20-30 minutes at 1.2-1.5 times the molar amount.
[0015] ③ Secondary vanadium precipitation: Add ammonium oxalate to the filtrate after oxidation, according to the reaction of V2O5 and NH4. + Add the product at a molar ratio of 1:2.0-2.5, adjust the pH to 2.2-2.5, stir the reaction at 80-100 r / min for 30-40 min, and fine precipitate of ammonium polyvanadate will be precipitated. Filter to separate the fine precipitate; combine the coarse precipitate and the fine precipitate, wash, dry, and calcine at 550-600℃ for 2-3 h to obtain the V2O5 product.
[0016] (4) Resource-based closed-loop treatment: The leaching residue from step (2) is washed with deionized water 2-3 times, with a liquid-to-solid ratio of 1:1.0-1.2 each time, until there is no obvious chloride ion residue, and then used to prepare silicate bricks; The filtrate after the secondary vanadium precipitation in step (3) is concentrated 3-5 times using a nanofiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 100-200 Da to remove soluble impurities, and sodium carbonate is added to match the initial mixing concentration in step (1), and then recycled back to the calcination and modification process in step (1).
[0017] As a further technical solution, before mixing, the vanadium-containing slurry in step (1) is dehydrated by plate and frame filter press to a moisture content of 65-80% to avoid excessive moisture affecting the roasting efficiency.
[0018] As a further technical solution, in the microwave-mechanical coupling calcination in step (1), the microwave power is gradient controlled, 200W for 0-0.5h and 250-300W for 0.5-2.5h, to avoid local overheating that leads to vanadium lattice agglomeration.
[0019] As a further technical solution, in the composite synergistic leaching process described in step (2), dilute sulfuric acid is used for pH adjustment, and the stirring speed is kept constant to avoid local pH fluctuations that could lead to vanadium ion hydrolysis.
[0020] As a further technical solution, the reaction temperature of the primary vanadium precipitation in step (3)① is 60-70℃, and the reaction temperature of the secondary vanadium precipitation in step (3)③ is 70-80℃, matching the vanadium ion precipitation kinetic characteristics.
[0021] As a further technical solution, in the oxidation adjustment process described in step (3) ②, a constant stirring speed of 60-80 r / min is used to ensure that sodium chlorate is evenly dispersed and to avoid incomplete local oxidation.
[0022] As a further technical solution, the vanadium enrichment washing in step (3) uses 1-2wt% dilute ammonia water to remove sulfate and chloride ion impurities adsorbed on the surface and improve product purity.
[0023] As a further technical solution, in the nanofiltration membrane concentration process described in step (4), the operating pressure is controlled at 0.3-0.5MPa and the temperature at 25-35℃ to extend the service life of the nanofiltration membrane.
[0024] As a further technical solution, when preparing silicate bricks from the leaching residue in step (4), 10-15% of the leaching residue mass of kaolin is added to improve the brick strength, which meets the relevant standards of the building materials industry.
[0025] As a further technical solution, after sodium carbonate is added to the recycled filtrate, the chloride ion content of the system needs to be detected to ensure that the residual chloride ion content in the recycling system is ≤0.5%, so as to avoid accumulation that affects the vanadium extraction effect.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0027] This invention achieves deep extraction, high-purity recovery, and closed-loop utilization of vanadium from vanadium-containing slurry through the matching and synergistic effects of various steps and processes. By employing a microwave-mechanical coupled roasting modification process, combined with gradient microwave power control and mechanical stirring, compared to traditional static roasting, microwaves enable rapid and uniform heating of the material, while mechanical stirring ensures thorough mixing of the vanadium-containing slurry and sodium carbonate, preventing localized agglomeration. The synergistic effect of these two processes disrupts the crystal structure of the vanadium-containing slurry, reducing vanadium crystal aggregation and facilitating the release of vanadium from the slurry matrix. This significantly improves the vanadium leaching rate in subsequent leaching processes, thus solving the problems of low leaching rate and high energy consumption associated with traditional roasting. Simultaneously, gradient microwave power control avoids vanadium loss due to localized overheating, further enhancing vanadium recovery and laying the foundation for subsequent high-purity vanadium precipitation. Furthermore, plate and frame filtration dehydration of the vanadium-containing slurry before roasting, controlling the moisture content to 65%-80%, avoids decreased roasting efficiency due to excessive moisture, reduces energy waste, and further optimizes the roasting effect.
[0028] The composite synergistic leaching process, which combines sodium sulfate and sodium metabisulfite, enhances the ionic strength of the leaching system and promotes the dissolution of vanadium in the roasted modified product. Sodium metabisulfite, on the other hand, regulates the system environment and inhibits the oxidation loss of vanadium. The synergistic effect of the two improves leaching selectivity and reduces the co-leaching of impurities, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent vanadium precipitation and purification. This solves the problems of poor leaching selectivity and high impurity content associated with traditional single leaching agents. At the same time, adjusting the pH of the system to 4.0-5.0 with 5% mass concentration dilute sulfuric acid, combined with leaching temperature and stirring speed, further optimizes leaching conditions, improves leaching efficiency, and ensures complete vanadium leaching. The adoption of the staged oxidation precipitation process involves first recovering most of the high-valence vanadium in the leachate through primary precipitation, then converting the remaining low-valence vanadium into high-valence vanadium through oxidation, and finally recovering the remaining vanadium through secondary precipitation. This stepwise precipitation method not only maximizes the recovery of vanadium in the leachate and improves the vanadium recovery rate, but also gradually removes impurities from the solution through two precipitation processes, thereby improving the purity of the V2O5 product. This solves the problems of low vanadium recovery rate and insufficient product purity in the traditional single precipitation process.
[0029] From the perspective of the synergistic effect of the entire technical solution, microwave-mechanical coupling roasting modification provides easily leached modified products for composite synergistic leaching, composite synergistic leaching provides high vanadium concentration and low impurity leachate for graded vanadium oxidation precipitation, graded vanadium oxidation precipitation provides high-purity products and easily treated filtrate and leaching residue for resource-based closed-loop treatment, and resource-based closed-loop treatment prepares silicate bricks from leaching residue, concentrates the filtrate through nanofiltration membrane, removes impurities, and then recycles it to the roasting process, realizing the recycling of resources, while reducing solid waste and wastewater discharge and reducing environmental pollution.

[0086] Experimental materials: vanadium-containing leachate, V2O5 product, leaching residue prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, and original vanadium-containing mud (vanadium content 1.23%).
[0087] Experimental equipment: Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), electronic balance (accuracy 0.0001g), vacuum drying oven, muffle furnace, and filtration device.
[0088] Test method:
[0089] (1) Vanadium leaching rate detection: The total vanadium content in the original vanadium-containing mud and the vanadium content in the vanadium-containing leachate of each example and comparative example were detected by ICP-OES. The vanadium leaching rate was calculated according to the following formula:
[0090] Vanadium leaching rate (%) = (Mass of vanadium in the leachate ÷ Mass of total vanadium in the original vanadium-containing mud) × 100%
[0091] Wherein, the mass of vanadium in the leachate = the volume of the leachate × the vanadium concentration of the leachate; the total mass of vanadium in the original vanadium-containing mud = the mass of the vanadium-containing mud × the vanadium content of the vanadium-containing mud.
[0092] (2) V2O5 product purity test: V2O5 products prepared in each example and comparative example were dried under vacuum to constant weight, and the content of V2O5 in the product was detected by ICP-OES. At the same time, the content of impurities such as sulfate and chloride ions in the product was detected, and the purity of V2O5 product was calculated (purity = mass of V2O5 ÷ total mass of product × 100%).
[0093] (3) Parallel test: Three parallel tests are set up for each sample, and the average value is taken as the final test result to ensure the repeatability of the test data.
[0094] Experimental results:

[0097] As shown in Experiment 1, the vanadium leaching rate of Examples 1-3 is above 92%, the purity of V2O5 products is above 98%, and the impurity content is below 2%, indicating that the technical solution of the present invention can achieve efficient leaching and high-purity recovery of vanadium.
[0098] Comparative Example 1, lacking microwave-mechanical coupled roasting modification, employed conventional roasting, resulting in a vanadium leaching rate of only 72.36%, a decrease of 22.76 percentage points compared to Example 3. The V₂O₅ product purity decreased by 3.15 percentage points, while the impurity content increased by 3.15 percentage points. The reasons are: conventional roasting lacks the rapid heating of microwaves and the uniform dispersion effect of mechanical stirring, leading to uneven mixing of the vanadium-containing slurry and sodium carbonate, and uneven roasting temperature distribution. This causes vanadium lattice agglomeration, making it difficult to dissolve in subsequent leaching processes. Furthermore, insufficient roasting leaves some vanadium encased in the slurry matrix, preventing effective leaching and thus reducing the leaching rate. Insufficient roasting also introduces more impurities, lowering product purity.
[0099] Comparative Example 2, lacking staged oxidation precipitation of vanadium, only used primary vanadium precipitation, achieving a vanadium leaching rate of 94.31%, close to that of Example 3. However, the purity of the V₂O₅ product was only 92.15%, a decrease of 6.38 percentage points compared to Example 3, while the impurity content increased by 6.38 percentage points. The reason is that primary vanadium precipitation can only recover most of the high-valence vanadium in the leachate, while some V₂O₅ remains in the leachate. 3+ The vanadium was not converted into high-valence vanadium through oxidation adjustment, nor was it recovered through secondary vanadium precipitation. As a result, the vanadium was lost with the filtrate. At the same time, the unrecovered vanadium and other impurities affected the purity of the product. In addition, vanadium precipitation alone could not fully remove impurities from the solution, causing impurities to accumulate in the product and further reducing the purity of the product.
