The invention relates to a method for efficiently and selectively extracting
vanadium from
vanadium shale. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the steps that
vanadium shale is crushed and ground, vanadium shale mineral
powder is obtained, a
sulfuric acid solution I and the vanadium shale mineral
powder are mixed, mixed ore pulp is obtained, a leaching aid is added for pulp mixing, stirring and
solid-liquid separation are conducted, and vanadium-containing leaching liquid and leaching residues are obtained; adding
sodium sulfite into the vanadium-containing leaching solution, heating and stirring to obtain a reduced solution; adjusting the pH value of the reduced solution, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain an extraction
stock solution and
neutralization slag; mixing the extraction organic phase and the extraction
stock solution, performing countercurrent positive extraction, mixing the obtained loaded organic phase and a stripping agent, and performing countercurrent reverse extraction to obtain a vanadium-rich solution; adding
sodium chlorate into the vanadium-rich solution, heating and stirring to obtain an oxidized solution, adjusting the pH value of the oxidized solution, and carrying out
hydrothermal reaction and
solid-liquid separation to obtain a vanadium
precipitation mother solution and a vanadium
precipitation intermediate product; and
roasting the vanadium
precipitation intermediate product to obtain vanadium
pentoxide. The method is high in vanadium
leaching rate, low in concentration of
impurity iron in the extraction solution, short in extraction stage and high in product purity.
