Abstract
Clay vanadium ore, as an important raw material for vanadium extraction, has broad application prospects when efficiently processed. By comparing the two processes of microwave-enhanced acid leaching and regular acid leaching, the influences of factors such as microwave power, the composition ratio and dosage of MF named after manganese and fluorine elements, sulfuric acid dosage, leaching time, and leaching temperature on the vanadium leaching efficiency were investigated. The results showed that microwave-enhanced acid leaching could effectively shorten the leaching time and increase the vanadium leaching efficiency. In the process of microwave-enhanced acid leaching of vanadium, the four factors of microwave power, MF dosage, sulfuric acid dosage, and leaching time had certain interaction effects with each other, and their influence degrees on the vanadium leaching efficiency were: MF dosage > sulfuric acid dosage > microwave power > leaching time. Through test optimization, the optimal process parameters for microwave-enhanced acid leaching were determined as follows: microwave power of 320 W, mass ratio of manganese oxide to fluoride 20 %:80 %, MF dosage of 4 %, sulfuric acid dosage of 16 %, leaching temperature of 95 °C, and leaching time of 5 h. Under these conditions, the vanadium leaching efficiency could reach 92.40 %. The high-frequency oscillation and heating effects of microwaves can effectively destroy the mineral structure, accelerate the reaction rate of vanadium-bearing muscovite, and promote vanadium leaching.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing.
