description The results of the processing of ash from the combustion of fuel oil after roasting with the addition of Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> followed by aluminothermic melting are presented. As a result, metallic nickel and vanadium slag were obtained. Studies of slag, metal, and deposits on the electrode were carried out. The resulting metal contains about 90 wt% Ni. The main phases of scurf on the electrode are a solid solution based on periclase (Mg<sub>1–x–y–z</sub>Ni<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>y</sub>V<sub>z</sub>O), sodium-magnesium vanadate (NaMg<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>), and substituted forsterite (Mg<sub>2–x–y</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub>Ni<sub>y</sub>SiO<sub>4</sub>). The processing of ash made it possible to significantly increase the concentration of vanadium and convert it into more soluble compounds. Vanadium amount increased from 16.2 in ash to 41.4–48.1 V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> wt% in slag. The solubility of vanadium was studied during aqueous leaching and in solutions of H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> and Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>. The highest solubility of vanadium was seen in H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> solutions. The degree of extraction of vanadium into the solution during sulfuric acid leaching of ash was 18.9%. In slag, this figure increased to 72.3–96.2%. In the ash sample, vanadium was found in the form of V<sup>5+</sup>, V<sup>4+</sup> compounds, vanadium oxides VO<sub>2</sub> (V<sup>4+</sup>), V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (V<sup>5+</sup>), and V<sub>6</sub>O<sub>13</sub>, and nickel orthovanadate Ni<sub>3</sub>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (V<sup>5+</sup>) was found in it. In the slag sample, vanadium was in the form of compounds V<sup>5+</sup>, V<sup>4+</sup>, V<sup>3+</sup>, and V<sup>(0÷3)+</sup>; V<sup>5+</sup> was presented in the form of compounds vanadate NaMg<sub>4</sub>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>, NaVO<sub>3</sub>, and Ca<sub>x</sub>Mg<sub>y</sub>Na<sub>z</sub>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>; V<sup>3+</sup> was present in spinel (FeV<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) and substituted karelianite (V<sub>2–x–y–z</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub>Al<sub>y</sub>Cr<sub>z</sub>O<sub>3</sub>). In the obtained slag samples, soluble forms of vanadium are due to the presence of sodium metavanadate (NaVO<sub>3</sub>), a phase with the structure of granate Ca<sub>x</sub>Mg<sub>y</sub>Na<sub>z</sub>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub> and (possibly) substituted karelianite (V<sub>2–x–y–z</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub>Al<sub>y</sub>Cr<sub>z</sub>O<sub>3</sub>). In addition, spinel phases of the MgAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> type beta-alumina (NaAl<sub>11</sub>O<sub>17</sub>), nepheline (Na<sub>4–x</sub>K<sub>x</sub>Al<sub>4</sub>Si<sub>4</sub>O<sub>16</sub>), and lepidocrocite (FeOOH) were found in the slag samples.
