In the alka line leaching processes such as sodium carbonate roasting followed by water leaching, most of the molybdenum and vanadium are selectively leached and most of nickel and cobalt are left in the residue after the alkaline leaching of spent HDS catalysts. Therefore, it is important to recover nickel and cobalt from the residue. The main form of nickel and co - balt in the residue is spinel, therefore, it is difficult to extract nickel and cobalt from the residue using mineral acids. In the present study, the effect of grinding, acid concentration, leaching temperature and stirring speed on the leaching efficiency of nickel and cobalt from the residue after sodium carbonate roasting followed by water leaching of spent HDS catalysts with sulfuric acid was investigated. The grinding, sulfuric acid concentration and leaching temper ature significantly affected the leaching efficiency of nickel, cobalt and aluminum. However, the extraction of nickel and cobalt was ca. 80% and ca. 60%, respectively. The spinel was not affected by only mechanical grinding, therefore, it was considered that the extraction of nickel and cobalt was relatively low.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78829164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability of various LDHs to remove anionic species including As(III), As(V), B, Cr(VI) and Se(IV) was investigated. Removal tests were performed primarily by a batch operation. The Cr(VI) removal was conducted by both batch and column studies. For the column removal tests, LDH pellets were prepared using a granulator and 5% poly-vinyl alcohol solution as binder. Among the LDHs tested, Mg-Al-NO 3 − LDH showed the optimal removal of anionic species, and it demonstrated excellent removal of As(V), Se(IV) and Cr(VI) particularly at the low anionic con- centrations. The order of anionic removal by the LDHs is as follows; Mg-Al-NO 3 − LDH > Mg-Al-Cl − LDH >> Mg-Al-SO 42 − LDH > Mg-Al-CO 32 − LDH. The selective uptake of anion had the following order; As(V) > Se(IV) > Cr(VI) > As(III) > B. This study has demonstrated the uptake of harmful anions is influenced by the two specific factors, (1) the originally intercalated anions in the LDH, and (2) valency of anionic target species in aqueous solution. Column study also demonstrated that about 350 times Cr(VI) in solution per unit volume of LDH pellet can be removed, though this resulted in minor change in pH of the solution and greater NO 3 − elution. This study has revealed the ability of LDH to remove harmful anionic species and its practical application in wastewater treat- ment.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73992625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Molybdenum and vanadium are simultaneously extracted with tri-n-octylamine (TOA) at around pH 4 followed by stripping of molybdenum and vanadium with ammonium salt solutions. In the stripping process, vanadium alone is precipitated as ammonium salts of tetraammonium disodium decavanadate decahydrate at pH > 8. In the present study, precipitation method was carried out to recovery of molybdenum from aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride. Molybdenum could be precipitated as tetraammonium octamolybdate pentahydrate with ammo- nium chloride at the pH below 4 and the pH region of precipitation increased with increase of temperature.
