Abstract

Owing to the global development of high-strength alloys and renewable energy industries, the demand for vanadium, a key raw material in these industries, is expected to increase. Until now, vanadium has been recovered as a by-product of the industry, but interest in its direct recovery from minerals has increasing with its significantly increasing demand. In particular, the recovery of vanadium from stone coal ore and vanadium titano-magnetite (VTM) containing vanadium has been actively researched in China, which has the largest reserves and production of vanadium in the world. In Korea, a large amount of VTM also occurs in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, and fundamental research and technical development is being conducted to recover vanadium. It is necessary to understand the current status of the separation technology used worldwide to satisfy the demand for metals such as vanadium, which currently depends on imports.

전 세계적으로 고강도 합금 및 신재생에너지 산업의 수요 증가로 인하여 핵심 원료인 바나듐의 수요 가 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 이에 따라, 지금까지 바나듐은 다른 산업의 부산물로 회수되었으나, 직접적인 개발에 대한 이목이 집중되고 있다. 특히, 매장량과 생산량이 가장 많은 중국에서는 함바나듐 무연탄광과 티탄철광으로부터 바나듐을 회수하는 연구가 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 국내에도 경기 북부 지역에 함바나듐 티탄철광이 대량 부존되어 있다고 알려져, 이를 개발하고자 하는 기초 및 실증연구가 수행되고 있다. 따라서 본 총설에서는 국내외 바나듐 선별 기술 현황을 조사하여 소개하였으며, 이를 토대로 현재 전량 수입에 의존하고 있는 바나듐에 대한 자립 수급의 필요성을 알리고자 한다.
