The waste liquid at the bottom of the deammoniation tower 3 is pumped into the tube side of the heat exchanger 1 by the water outlet pump 13. The vanadium extraction wastewater exchanges heat with the waste liquid in the heat exchanger 1 to be heated. The heated vanadium extraction wastewater is mixed with the liquid caustic soda provided by the liquid caustic soda pump 16 and then enters the water distributor at the top of the deammoniation tower 3 through the pressure pump 17.

The ammonium sulfate solution circulates in the absorption tower 4 under the action of the ammonium sulfate circulation pump 11.
