Background
Vanadium is an important resource, is widely applied to various fields of national defense and economic construction due to inherent physicochemical characteristics, has excellent performance, and has wide application in industries such as metallurgy, chemical engineering and the like. The vanadium pentoxide is an important member of vanadium oxide, is widely applied in industrial production, can meet the purity requirement of vanadium-aluminum alloy on the vanadium pentoxide as a raw material in the aspect of metallurgy, and can also be used for producing vanadium-nitrogen, vanadium-iron-nitrogen and vanadium-iron alloy. In the atomic energy industry, high-purity vanadium pentoxide can be used for producing high-purity metal vanadium. In the aspect of battery industry, high-purity vanadium pentoxide can be synthesized into a positive electrode material of a lithium ion battery and a vanadium flow battery; ammonium metavanadate is mainly used as a chemical reagent, a catalyst, a drier, a mordant and the like, and is widely used as a glaze in the ceramic industry and can also be used for preparing vanadium pentoxide. Currently, commercially available ammonium metavanadate is mainly prepared by extracting, synthesizing and purifying vanadium ore, and with the wide application of vanadium pentoxide and ammonium metavanadate in various industries, people have higher and higher requirements on the purity of ammonium metavanadate, and the market prospect of high-purity ammonium metavanadate is particularly wide.
The commonly used methods for purifying vanadium pentoxide and ammonium metavanadate include chemical precipitation method for removing impurities, solvent extraction method for removing impurities and ion exchange method for removing impurities. The solvent extraction method and the ion exchange method have the main advantages that the solution with lower vanadium concentration can be enriched with vanadium through extraction or ion exchange, and vanadium products are produced after certain vanadium concentration is reached. However, the dosage of the extractant and the ion exchange resin can be increased sharply along with the increase of the concentration of the vanadium, so that the production cost of the whole vanadium product is increased, and the method is not suitable for industrial large-scale production; the chemical precipitation method is to remove the impurity elements in the vanadium by adding a precipitator, has simple process and low requirement on equipment, and is suitable for industrial large-scale production, but the impurity elements in the precipitator are easily introduced into the vanadium product in the precipitation method impurity removal process in the prior art, so that the purity of the vanadium product is difficult to improve.
At present, the requirement of the high-purity vanadium compound on the aluminum content is less than 0.005%, however, in the existing process for preparing high-purity vanadium by removing impurities with aluminum salt, the vanadium-containing solution is added with aluminum salt under the condition that the pH value is 10, the aluminum salt reacts with impurities such as Si, P and the like in the vanadium-containing solution to form precipitation and filtration, the pH value of filtrate is adjusted to 7-8 by adding sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid to form Al (OH)3The process can obtain better silicon removal effect, but often leads to the over-standard aluminum content in the product and can not meet the production requirement of high-purity vanadium.
