The most important and stable oxide of vanadium | Vanadium pentoxide, also known as "vanadic anhydride", is the most important and stable oxide of vanadium. Chemical formula V2O5. Odorless, colored (orange to dark red), toxic solid powder, relative density of 3.357, melting point of 690 ℃ (lower than titanium dioxide), decomposition at 1750 ℃. Amphoteric oxides, but mainly acidic. Vanadium pentoxide is only slightly soluble in water. If it is soluble in acid, it forms vanadoxy salt VO 2 or VO3; it is easily soluble in alkali and can form vanadate: V2O5 6NaOH = 2Na3VO4 3H2O. Vanadium pentoxide has oxidizing properties and is a strong oxidant. It can oxidize hydrochloric acid and release chlorine gas, especially in alkaline medium tetrahydroxyvanadium [V(OH)4] also has strong oxidizing properties. Vanadium pentoxide is an important industrial catalyst. For example, in the contact method of sulfuric acid, it can replace metal platinum as a catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide. It is also a catalyst for the preparation of phthalic anhydride, cis-butadiene anhydride, and aniline black. Vanadium pentoxide and mild reducing agents (such as oxalic acid) can be co-melted to obtain dark blue solid vanadium dioxide, which is amphoteric and soluble in both acid and alkali. Vanadium dioxide can be regenerated by heating in air or interacting with concentrated nitric acid. Vanadium pentoxide is heated with a strong reducing agent to obtain black solid vanadium trioxide. Vanadium trioxide can be gradually oxidized to vanadium dioxide by air at room temperature, and the oxidation reaction intensifies when the temperature rises. Vanadium pentoxide or vanadium oxychloride VOCl3 is heated to 1 627 ℃ in a hydrogen stream to obtain black vanadium oxide. Vanadium oxide has a metallic luster, can conduct electricity, and is insoluble in water. Vanadium oxide is alkaline and soluble in acid. After dissolving in acid, it forms a salt of V (II). The red powder of vanadium pentoxide can be obtained by heating and decomposing ammonium vanadate: 2NH4VO3 = V2O5 2NH3 H2O. Vanadium pentoxide can also be extracted from potassium vanadium uranium ore and phosphate rock. Vanadium pentoxide is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis and sulfuric acid industry, and is also used in the manufacture of ceramics and red glass. Figure 1 is the molecular structure of vanadium pentoxide. |
history of use | the industrial production of vanadium began in 1882 with low-temperature hydrochloric acid treatment to produce vanadium from acidic converter slag containing 1.1% vanadium. it was only developed in the metallurgical industry decades later. After Peru's high-grade green sulfur vanadium ore was discovered in 1906, the United States has been mining and smelting for 50 years, and its output accounted for 1/4 of the world's total output during this period. The United States produces vanadium products mainly from potassium vanadium uranium mines in China. In 1955, Finland began to produce vanadium pentoxide from magnetite. In 1957, South Africa also produced vanadium slag and vanadium pentoxide from titanomagnetite. The Soviet Union first obtained vanadium slag from vanadium-poor iron ore in 1936, and then produced vanadium products. In the 1960s and 1980s, the United States, Canada, Japan, Peru and other countries have successively started the recovery of vanadium pentoxide from petroleum ash and spent catalysts. The production of vanadium pentoxide in China began in the Jinzhou Ferroalloy Plant in the 40s. It began to use vanadium concentrate as raw material and then switched to vanadium slag. In the early 1960s, China's self-designed vanadium pentoxide production workshop was built in Shanghai. Around the 1970s, with the continuous increase of vanadium resources, new plants using vanadium slag as raw materials were successively built in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Hebei, Hunan and other places. In the 1970s and 1980s, using the abundant vanadium-containing stone coal resources in southern China, some local small stone coal vanadium extraction plants were built. Vanadium pentoxide is widely used in metallurgy, printing and dyeing, ceramics and petroleum industry. It is used in the metallurgical industry to manufacture intermediates of steel alloys, metallic vanadium and other vanadium-based alloys. Catalyst for sulfuric acid production and aniline black dye synthesis, desulfurizer and decarburization agent for synthetic ammonia production, corrosion inhibitor for equipment corrosion protection in chemical plants, coloring dyes for printing and dyeing, ceramics, developer for film, and paint, medicine and Glass and other industries. |
sodium oxidation roasting method | due to the complex and diverse types of vanadium raw materials, the production process is also different. However, the main process is still no more than sodium oxidation roasting and acid leaching. Sodium oxidation roasting method: The method of converting vanadium in the raw material into soluble sodium vanadate is mostly used to treat vanadium-containing iron concentrate or vanadium slag. Vanadium slag is a by-product produced in the steelmaking process of vanadium-containing iron ore. Before roasting, it must be crushed, ground, and magnetic separation to remove iron. When using vanadium-containing iron concentrate as raw material, the method of mixing with sodium salt additives is generally used. The additives are usually salt, sodium sulfate or sodium carbonate, and a mixture of two sodium agents is often used. The water immersion solution of the roasting product is concentrated, filtered, ammonium salt converted, and precipitated by adding acid to precipitate ammonium vanadate and sent for filtration. The filter cake is dried and deamized to obtain a powdered vanadium pentoxide product, or the filter cake is directly melted to obtain a flaky vanadium pentoxide product. Other vanadium-containing raw materials (such as waste catalyst, stone coal or ash obtained by burning stone coal) can also be treated by sodium oxidation roasting method. Generally, after roasting and leaching, hydrolysis of vanadium, alkali dissolution, ammonium salt conversion, or after sodium oxidation roasting, dilute acid leaching-extraction method is used. Vanadium-containing phosphorus iron can also be roasted with sodium carbonate and salt for sodium oxidation. After immersion, phosphate is removed from the solution and then hydrolyzed and precipitated. In addition, the sodium oxidation baking caustic soda leaching process is also used to treat potassium-vanadium uranium ore. The sodium oxidation roasting method is the most important process for the production of vanadium pentoxide. The technology is mature. In the industry, cheap salt is used as a sodium agent, and the economic benefits are better. However, a large amount of chlorine, hydrogen chloride and other chlorides are produced during the roasting process, which is easy to corrode equipment and buildings and pollutes the environment. Moreover, due to the complexity of vanadium-containing raw materials, the conversion effect of sodium roasting is affected. Therefore, the choice of process flow must be determined after technical and economic comparison of the results of smelting tests on raw materials. Figure 2 is a flow chart of the sodium oxidation roasting process. |
