Selective Separation and Extraction of Vanadium (V) Over Manganese (II) from Co-Leaching Solution of Roasted Stone Coal and Pyrolusite Using Solvent Extraction

Based on the novel technology for selective separation and extraction of vanadium (V) over manganese (II) from co-leaching solution of roasted stone coal and pyrolusite using solvent extraction, the extraction effect of vanadium (V) and manganese (II) has been studied and many technical conditions have also been optimized. Meanwhile, countercurrent simulation experiments were conducted to verify the results of the experiments. The results indicated that with three countercurrent extraction stages, 99.21% vanadium (V) was extracted using 5% (v/v) N235 and 5% (v/v) secondary octyl alcohol at initial aqueous pH of 3.0 and O/A phase ratio of 1.0. Vanadium (V) could be completely stripped after three-stage countercurrent experiments with 20 wt.% NH4Cl at O/A phase ratio of 1.0. The process flow sheet for the recovery of vanadium (V), as well as manganese (II), was proposed.
