The invention relates to the technical field of extraction
metallurgy, and discloses a method for recovering
vanadium from calcified
vanadium extraction
tailings. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding the calcified
vanadium extraction
tailings and
calcium sulfite into water for pulping, then adding
sulfuric acid for leaching, adjusting the pH value of a
system to 2-3 by using
lime and / or limestone after the leaching is finished, and then carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain residues and a leaching solution; (2) adjusting the pH value of the
leachate to 5.5-7 by using
magnesium carbonate and / or
manganese carbonate to precipitate vanadium, and then filtering to obtain vanadium precipitate and
wastewater; (3) adding a
sodium hydroxide solution and an
oxidizing agent into the vanadium precipitate for reaction, performing
solid-liquid separation after reaction to obtain filtrate A and filter residue A, and controlling the weight ratio of vanadium element to
phosphorus element in the filtrate A to be greater than or equal to 600; and (4)
calcium oxide is added into the filtrate A for vanadium
precipitation, and filtrate B and filter residues B are obtained through
solid-liquid separation. According to the method, the vanadium in the calcified vanadium extraction
tailings can be effectively recycled, and the vanadium loss in the vanadium extraction process can be reduced.
