Vanadium Extraction Process

The extraction and recovery process of vanadium as a by-product from the tailings of a uranium processing plant poses many problems. In this study vanadium is recovered from impounded resin-in-pulp tailings and from the current tailings of a uranium plant which did not include a circuit for vanadium recovery in its initial design. Since the vanadium content is quite low, … Read more

Solvent Extraction Training SX Course

Solvent extraction, the process of extracting a specific metal valve from a solution to concentrate and purify that metal is a multistage process involving liquid ion exchange. In the first stage the metal value, in this example copper, exists in the aqueous leachate as an copper ion. The aqueous leachate is mixed with a organic … Read more
