Description
Summary:This paper was to develop an efficient process for efficient recovery and separation of vanadium and chromium. The vanadium-chromium reducing residue was conducted by oxidation acidic leaching with MnO<sub>2</sub>, followed by selective adsorption of vanadium and precipitation of chromium, respectively. The results showed that 97.93% vanadium was leached out and then adsorbed by melamine at pH 1.8 at 90 &#176;C for 60 min. Almost all chromium was leached out and efficiently recovered as Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. The leaching process was mainly controlled by surface chemical reaction, and its kinetic behaviors fitted well with the shrink core model. The apparent activation energy for vanadium and chromium leaching out wascalculated as 19.93 kJ&#183;mol<sup>&#8722;1</sup> and 21.26 kJ&#183;mol<sup>&#8722;1</sup>, respectively.
