Abstract

In this study, the leaching behavior of vanadium (V) was investigated through CaO roasting and sulfuric acid leaching from domestic V-bearing titanomagnetite (VTM). Changes in the phase according to the amount of CaO added and roasting temperature were analyzed. Regardless of the roasting conditions, perovskite (CaTiO₃) was preferred to form. When the CaO content was increased, the calcium ferrite (CaFeO_x) phase was formed; otherwise, ferrite (Fe₂O₃) was preferred. After CaO was roasted, leaching was performed for 6 h with 1M sulfuric acid at 50°C and a 10% solid–liquid ratio. Results of leaching revealed that when the roasted product was sintered, V was not sufficiently oxidized, and the leaching efficiency decreased. In addition, when the roasting temperature was low, the leaching efficiency of V decreased due to the influence of unreacted excess CaO. To lower the leaching efficiency of iron and titanium in VTM concentrates, suppressing the formation of CaTiO₃ and CaFeO_x was necessary by minimizing the amount of CaO added. Consequently, a leaching efficiency of 86% V, 4.3% Fe, and 6.5% Ti was obtained when the roasted product of 1150°C and 10 wt% CaO was leached.

본 연구에서는 국내산 함바나듐 티탄자철광으로부터 CaO 염배소 및 황산 침출을 통해 바나듐의 침출거동에 대해 고찰하였다. CaO의 첨가량 및 배소 온도에 따라 상의 변화를 살펴보았다. 배소 조건에 관계없이 Perovskite (CaTiO₃)가 형성되었으며, CaO 함량이 높아지면 Calcium ferrite (CaFeO_x) 상이 CaO 함량이 낮아지면 Hematite (Fe₂O₃)가 형성이 되었다. CaO 배소 후 1M 황산, 50℃, 고액비 10%에서 6시간 동안 침출을 진행하였다. 침출 결과 배소 시료의 형태가 소결일 경우 바나듐의 산화가 충분히 이루어지지 못해 침출률이 감소하였다. 또한 배소 온도가 낮으면 미 반응한 잔류 CaO의 영향으로 바나듐의 침출률이 감소하였다. 함바나듐 티탄자철광의 철과 티타늄의 침출률을 낮추기 위해서는 CaO의 첨가량을 최소화하여 CaTiO₃와 CaFeO_x의 형성을 억제할 필요가 있었다. 결과적으로 1150℃, 10 wt.% CaO 배소 산물을 침출하였을 때 86%의 바나듐, 4.3%의 철, 6.5%의 티타늄의 침출률을 얻을 수 있었다.
