The invention relates to the technical field of waste catalyst
recovery, and particularly discloses a method for recovering valuable metals from a waste catalyst containing
vanadium and
molybdenum. Comprising the following steps: S1, heating and
roasting the waste catalyst containing
vanadium and
molybdenum, continuously heating and
roasting, and cooling to obtain a roasted material; s2, mixing the roasted material with a
sulfuric acid solution A containing
oxalic acid, and heating and leaching to obtain a leaching solution A and a residue A; mixing the residue A with a
sulfuric acid solution B containing
thiourea and
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, heating, carrying out secondary leaching to obtain a leaching solution B and a residue B, and washing the residue B with an acid solution to obtain a washing solution; combining the leaching solution and the washing solution to obtain a combined solution; s3, adjusting the pH value of the
mixed solution to 2.5-3, then adjusting the pH value to 4.5-5, adding a
dimethylglyoxime alcohol solution, and heating to obtain a purified solution; uniformly mixing the purified liquid with the extraction liquid to obtain an organic phase containing
vanadium and
molybdenum; and S4, reverse extraction and product preparation. The
ammonium molybdate and the vanadium
pentoxide obtained in the invention have high purity, and the
recovery rate of vanadium and molybdenum is high.
