Low recovery rate,high energy consumption and serious pollution are existed in traditional processes of vanadium extraction.To seek a new process with high recovery rate,low energy consumption and less pollution discharge is of great significance.Microwave-aided roasting for vanadium extraction is an environmentally-friendly technology.Non-pollution roasting processes with additives following sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate,under microwave irradiation were investigated with stone coal.The valence variation of vanadium in oxidation roasting of the vanadium bearing stone coal was studied.The results showed that the oxidation process of vanadium was a stepwise process following V(Ⅲ)→V(Ⅳ)→V(Ⅴ).The roasted stone coal was characterized by XRD,SEM.Factors associated with extraction rate were investigated following roasting temperature,roasting time,microwave power,and amount of roasting additive.Comparing with conventional roasting process,the recovery rate was higher without air pollution.
Ammonia is the major pollutant in many industrial and agricultural wastewaters,while with an increasing demand for nitrogen fertilizer worldwide,recovery of ammonia from high concentration ammonium wastewater is a significant way to reduce environmental pollution and to meet the development requirements.The present work was to investigate the factors following pH value,molar ratio of chemical reagents to afford theoretical support for wastewater treatment and resource recycling.Precipitate of struvite was analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD).Results indicated that by formation of magnesium ammoniumphosphate,ammonium in steel wastewater could be removed under the conditions following pH 10,with molar ratio of PO43-∶NH4+∶Mg2+ 1.3∶1∶1.2,and the ammonium removal efficiency was up to 95%.
According to the statistic analysis,the reserve of manganese in electrolytic manganese residue deposit is over 780 kt. The average contents of available manganese and ammonium reach 3.90% and 1.68% (mass fraction),respectively. Large amount of manganese compounds and ammonium sulfate are detruded without any treatment or recovery. The compositions of the main elements in electrolytic manganese residue were analyzed comprehensively based on the extensive research data. According to the new development of electrolytic manganese residue comprehensively used in recent years,a water washing residue-twice precipitation process was also proposed. The experimental results indicate that manganese dioxide silicon dioxide and calcium sulfate are presented as amorphous state in the manganese residues. The recovery rates of manganese and nitrogen reach up to 99.5% and 94.5 %,respectively. The recovery process can be easily implemented,environment-friendly and fitting for industrial production.
