Phase Transition and Vanadium Leaching Mechanism during Roasting of Vanadium‐Bearing Rock Coals.

The phase transformation and vanadium leaching mechanism of stone coal during two blank calcined stages are systematically studied. Composition, structure, and morphology of the materials are analyzed by ICP‐AES, BPMA, XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The results show that the main components of stone coal are SiO2, C, aluminosilicate and FeS2, V2O5 is 0.70%. Two‐stage roasting is a process of deformation, melting, and reconstruction of stone coal, the oxidation of pyrite, decomposition of aluminosilicate, sulfation of calcite, combustion of carbon and the formation of calcium vanadate occur in the first stage, the oxidation of low‐price vanadium occurs in the second stage. At −0.074 mm ≥90%, liquid solid ratio 1.5:1, 10% sulfuric acid reaction at room temperature for 3 h, the vanadium leaching rate in each material is in the order of roasting slag>decarbonized slag>stone coal.
