AI Technical Summary
Existing vanadium extraction processes from vanadium slag suffer from significant pollution and low vanadium extraction efficiency. In particular, traditional sodium roasting and water leaching processes generate ammonia nitrogen wastewater, while calcification roasting processes are difficult to operate and have low vanadium recovery rates. In the new approach, the leaching agent is prone to decomposition and has high costs.
The process involves using bio-enzyme to catalyze the hydrolysis of urea to produce an NH4+ solution. This solution is then mixed with vanadium slag clinker through a urea buffer solution. The NH4+ solution produced by urease catalyzing the hydrolysis of urea is used for leaching, resulting in the leaching of vanadium as ammonium vanadate and the separation of impurities as carbonates, thus avoiding the generation of harmful gases.
It achieves efficient recovery of vanadium from vanadium slag, with a leaching rate of over 88% and impurity content as low as 100 ppm, avoiding the generation of harmful gases. Furthermore, the operating conditions are mild and easy to control, reducing costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vanadium metallurgy, and in particular to a method for leaching vanadium from vanadium slag roasting clinker using bio-enzyme catalysis. Background Technology
[0002] Vanadium is a rare metal, often referred to as the "MSG of modern industry." Currently, vanadium-titanium magnetite is the primary raw material for vanadium production. With the rapid development of long-term energy storage and the use of vanadium in the next-generation information industry, the efficient and comprehensive utilization of vanadium-titanium magnetite resources is of great significance.
[0003] Currently, the utilization of vanadium-titanium magnetite mainly involves smelting it in a blast furnace to produce vanadium-containing molten iron, followed by vanadium slag extraction in a converter, and then vanadium extraction from the vanadium slag. Sodium roasting and water leaching of vanadium slag is the most important vanadium extraction technology, but it suffers from the following problems in actual production: alkali metal tailings are difficult to recover and can only be stockpiled, resulting in high environmental remediation costs; vanadium recovery rate is low, while treatment costs are high. While the calcification roasting and acid leaching process for vanadium slag solves the problem of ammonia nitrogen wastewater generated by traditional sodium roasting and water leaching, this technology requires strict control of the calcium-vanadium ratio and high control requirements during the roasting process, leading to difficulties in actual operation, low vanadium recovery rate, and the generation of large amounts of unusable calcium sulfate-containing tailings.
[0004] To address the problems faced by traditional vanadium extraction technologies, some researchers have proposed a new approach: salt-free roasting of vanadium slag followed by leaching with ammonium salts / (ammonium / sodium carbonate mixed salt). However, this approach suffers from issues such as easy decomposition of the leaching agent and difficulty in removing impurities from the leachate. For example, CN104003442A discloses a method for leaching vanadium from vanadium-containing raw materials using ammonium bicarbonate solution after roasting. This method involves leaching the vanadium-containing raw material's clinker after blank roasting in an ammonium bicarbonate solution, allowing vanadium to enter the solution in the form of ammonium vanadate, resulting in leaching residue and vanadium-containing liquid. During the leaching process, ammonium bicarbonate easily decomposes, releasing irritating ammonia gas, leading to a poor operating environment and high ammonium bicarbonate consumption, thus increasing the cost of vanadium extraction.
[0005] For example, CN104831090A discloses a method for vanadium extraction by low-temperature and atmospheric-pressure leaching of vanadium-containing roasted clinker with ammonium bicarbonate solution. This method involves leaching the clinker obtained by salt-free oxidative roasting of vanadium-containing raw materials in ammonium bicarbonate solution, and obtaining vanadium-containing leachate and vanadium extraction tailings after liquid-solid separation. Although this method is carried out at low temperature and atmospheric pressure, the volatilization of ammonia is not completely controlled under the conditions of high liquid-solid ratio and high ammonium salt concentration. Moreover, the consumption of ammonium salt is large and needs to be recycled, resulting in a high overall process cost.
[0006] Therefore, how to provide a novel method for leaching vanadium from vanadium slag roasting clinker, improve the vanadium leaching rate in vanadium slag, reduce the impurity content of the leachate, and at the same time avoid the generation of harmful gases and reduce costs, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for leaching vanadium from vanadium slag roasting clinker using bio-enzyme catalysis. This method solves the problems of high pollution and low vanadium extraction efficiency in existing vanadium slag extraction processes, achieving efficient vanadium leaching under mild conditions, and preventing impurities from easily entering the leachate. The method has a simple operation process, easily controllable conditions, produces no harmful gases during roasting, and has low cost.
[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for leaching vanadium from vanadium slag clinker using bio-enzymatic catalysis, the method comprising the following steps: (1) Adjust the pH of the urea buffer solution to acidic and mix it with urease for hydrolysis to obtain a hydrolysate; (2) The vanadium slag roasted clinker is mixed with the hydrolysis solution described in step (1) and leached to obtain a vanadium-containing leachate.
[0009] Compared to traditional vanadium extraction processes, the method described in this invention utilizes biological enzymes, which catalyze the hydrolysis of urea to produce NH4-containing compounds. + The vanadium slag clinker is leached in a hydrolysis solution, which causes vanadium to dissolve in the form of ammonium vanadate, while calcium, manganese, and magnesium elements enter the leaching residue in the form of carbonates. This improves the vanadium recovery rate and prevents impurities from entering the leaching solution, thus achieving efficient recovery and utilization of vanadium resources in the vanadium slag.
[0010] Preferably, the urea buffer solution in step (1) is obtained by mixing urea, buffer solution and water.
[0011] Preferably, the concentration of urea in the urea buffer solution in step (1) is 0.5~2 mol / L, for example, it can be 0.5 mol / L, 0.8 mol / L, 1 mol / L, 1.2 mol / L, 1.5 mol / L, 1.8 mol / L or 2 mol / L, etc.
[0012] Preferably, the buffer includes any one or a combination of at least two of Bis-Tris buffer, MES buffer, PIPES buffer or MOPS buffer, wherein typical but non-limiting combinations include combinations of MES buffer and Bis-Tris buffer, combinations of Bis-Tris buffer and PIPES buffer, and combinations of Bis-Tris buffer and MOPS buffer, etc.
[0013] Preferably, the concentration of the buffer solution is 0.15~0.35 mol / L, for example, it can be 0.15 mol / L, 0.18 mol / L, 0.20 mol / L, 0.22 mol / L, 0.25 mol / L, 0.28 mol / L, 0.30 mol / L, 0.32 mol / L or 0.35 mol / L, etc.
[0014] Preferably, the endpoint of pH adjustment in step (1) is that the pH of the urea buffer solution is 4.5 to 6.5, for example, it can be 4.5, 4.8, 5.0, 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 6.0, 6.2 or 6.5, etc.
[0015] The method of the present invention further optimizes the pH adjustment in step (1) by setting the pH of the urea buffer solution to 4.5-6.5, which is beneficial for urease to catalyze the hydrolysis of urea. If the corresponding pH is too low or too high, it will lead to a decrease in urease activity and a reduction in the amount of NH4 generated during hydrolysis. + Insufficient concentration leads to a decrease in vanadium leaching rate.

[0018] The method of the present invention further optimizes the addition of urease in step (1) to 5-35 mg / L, based on the urea buffer solution, which helps to ensure that the concentration of ammonium ions in the resulting hydrolysis solution is sufficient for efficient vanadium extraction. If the amount of urease added is too low, the degree of hydrolysis will be insufficient, the concentration of ammonium ions in the resulting hydrolysis solution will be low, and the vanadium leaching rate will decrease. If the amount of urease added is too high, it will not significantly improve the vanadium leaching rate, but will instead cause waste.

[0065] (3) As can be seen from the combined examples 1 and 10 to 13, the present invention further optimizes the liquid-solid ratio of the hydrolysis solution to the vanadium slag roasting clinker to (5~20):1, or further optimizes the leaching temperature to 35~70℃, which is more conducive to vanadium leaching.
[0066] (4) It can be seen from the combined results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 that, since the pH of the urea buffer solution in Comparative Example 1 was not adjusted to acidity, the urease activity decreased, and the NH4+ in the hydrolysis solution decreased. + The drawback is that the vanadium leaching rate is relatively low. Because the process of leaching with ammonium bicarbonate solution was used in Comparative Example 2, the leaching agent is prone to decomposition when the temperature is too high. This shows that the method for leaching vanadium from vanadium slag roasting clinker provided by the present invention has excellent vanadium leaching effect and has both high leaching rate and high selectivity.
