Various leaching experiments were carried out, and the results show that the vanadium ore in Fangshankou is difficultto process due to its high consumption of acid and the high leaching rate of impurities. However, the leaching rate can be up to 80% and thecontent of V2Os in the residue can be between 0.22%-0.25% in the process of ore fine grinding- →oxidation roasting-→mixing and ripen-ing- >aquecous leaching- >P2O4 solvent extraction- >sulfuric acid stripping- >oxidation and precipitation- >decomposition by heat. Also, thequality of flaky V2Os produced by this process can meet the requirements of GB3283- 87. The total leaching rate of vanadium is 70%. Also,three types of wastes are easy to treat. The vanadium extraction process is better in relation to the aspect of environmental protection than thesodium method.Keywords: stone coal; vanadium; extraction; leaching; solvent extraction; V2Os1.
