The invention of controlling a lixiviation of
silicon impurity during the process of extracting
vanadium from navajoite belonging to the technical field of
metallurgy, relates to an extraction method of
vanadium from navajoite. The method is to add concentrated acid (
vitriol, etc.), concentration of which is greater than 5 mol / L, before the lixiviation of siliceous
vanadium; then lixiviates are carried out after an aging in normal temperature. When in the process of the lixiviation of the concentrated acid after the aging, the
silicon contained the vanadium forms a
solid of undissolving SiO2, which retains within the
slag instead of dissolved in the lixiviation solution lixiviating with vanadium. The invention is characterized in that the invention effectively controls the lixiviation of the
silicon impurity without affecting the lixiviation rate of vanadium or increasing the consumption of chemical
raw material, simplifies the subsequent purification process of the silicon during the extraction and
smelting of navajoite, lowers production cost, leads the process of extraction and
smelting process to be fluent and reliable. The invention reduces the lixiviation of silicon by no less than 95%, which is suitable for the vanadium extraction and a
smelting process for the siliceous navajoite such as a stone
coal mine, a
coal gangue, the navajoite (including vanadium clay mine), a vanadium
titanium magnetite, the SiO2 content of which is greater than 2%, or the baked ore and suitable for the extraction and
smelting process for the siliceous navajoite the SiO2 content of which is greater than or equal to 2% during the
smelting process.
