Extraction of molybdenum and nickel from roasted Ni–Mo ore by hydrochloric acid leaching, sulphation roasting and water leaching

Abstract To extract molybdenum and nickel from the roasted Ni–Mo ore, a process of hydrochloric acid leaching, sulphation roasting and water leaching was investigated. The results showed that this process could get a high leaching rate of Mo and Ni. Under the optimum conditions of hydrochloric acid leaching (roasted Ni–Mo ore leached with 0.219 mL/g hydrochloric acid addition at 65 °C for 30 min with a L / S ratio of 3 mL/g), sulphation roasting (51.9% sulfuric acid addition, roasting temperature 240 °C for 1 h), followed by leaching with the first stage hydrochloric acid leaching solution at 95 °C for 2 h, the leaching rates of Mo and Ni reached 95.8% and 91.3%, respectively.

Extraction of molybdenum from acidic leach solution of Ni–Mo ore by solvent extraction using tertiary amine N235

ABSTRACT Tertiary amine N235 diluted with sulphonated kerosene containing sec-octyl alcohol as a phase modifier was used to directly extract molybdenum from the acidic leach solution of Ni–Mo ore. The results indicated that the extraction of molybdenum can reach more than 88% using a solvent extraction system consisting of 10 vol.-% N235 and 10 vol.-% sec-octyl alcohol in sulphonated kerosene with an O/A ratio of 1:2 at room temperature for 20 min. The extracted molybdenum species of Mo7O21(OH)33–, MoO2(SO4)22– and MoO2(HSO4)42– in loaded organic phase were identified, and the predominant species was Mo7O21(OH)33–. Molybdenum in the loaded organic phase can be stripped with ammonia solution, and the stripping of molybdenum can reach 95.8% at an O/A ratio of 7:1, phase contact time of 10 min, and the ammonia concentration of 6 mol L−1.

Extraction of Vanadium and Chromium from the Material Containing Chromium, Titanium and Vanadium

To recover iron, titanium, vanadium and chromium from vanadium bearing titanomagnetite, a process of direct reduction has been proposed. After magnetic separation, a material containing titanium, vanadium and chromium was obtained. In this paper, a salt-roasting process was proposed to extract vanadium and chromium from the material containing titanium, vanadium and chromium. The effects of the several parameters that included roasting temperature, roasting time and the addition of sodium carbonate were investigated. Under the most suitable conditions including a roasting temperature of 900 °C, roasting time of 2 h and sodium carbonate addition of 33 wt%, the leaching of vanadium and chromium reached 91.2 and 68.4%, respectively. After leaching, the leach residue can be used as the raw material for extraction of titanium.

A review of processing technologies for vanadium extraction from stone coal

ABSTRACT Due to the poor vanadium recovery of mineral processing, the extraction of vanadium from stone coal is directly carried out by metallurgical processes. Salt process, acid process and alkali process three types of stone coal leaching including nine technologies are introduced. However, all of these nine leaching technologies have serious disadvantages and up to now the stone coal has not been efficiently utilised. Chemical precipitation, ion exchange and solvent extraction all can be used to extract vanadium from stone coal leach solutions. Due to the low extraction of vanadium, Chemical precipitation method is rarely used. Ion exchange is only used for the extracting of V(V) from the leach solution. For the extraction of low valence, P204 is one of effective extraction agent. The lately developed technology, LTSRWL, is characterised by high recovery of vanadium, comprehensive recovery of other valuable elements and environmental friendliness, which make it become the best option.

Extraction of vanadium from V-Cr bearing reduced residue by selective oxidation combined with alkaline leaching

ABSTRACT The extraction of vanadium from the V-Cr-bearing reduced residue formed from the waste water by reduction and neutralization in the process of extracting vanadium from vanadium slag was investigated by selective oxidation combined with alkaline leaching. Vanadium pentoxide is used as the selective oxidant. The effects of leaching temperature, leaching time, solution pH and vanadium pentoxide addition were studied. Under the most suitable conditions including a leaching temperature of 95°C, leaching time of 3 h, solution pH 13.0 and vanadium pentoxide addition of 4.55 wt-%, the leaching of vanadium reached 93.4% and the leaching of chromium was 17.1%.

Kinetics of Extracting Vanadium from Stonecoal by Alkali Leaching

Vanadium was leached from roasted stone coal by NaOH solution, and the effect of leaching temperature, leaching time, addition of NaOH liquid to solid ratio, the grinding fineness of stone coal, and stirring speed on the vanadium leaching rate was studied. The kinetics analysis for the process is presented by the shrinking core model. The results show that the vanadium leaching ratio of roasted stone coal can be beyond 75% at the 6% NaOH addition, leaching temperature of 95°C, leaching time of 7h, liquid to solid ratio of 1.2mL/g, and grinding fineness of 0.111mm. The leaching process is controlled by interfacial reaction kinetics and the apparent activation energy was 59.36kJ/mol.
