Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to methods of preparing vanadium pentoxide from a vanadium-containing solution, and more particularly, from a sodium vanadate solution. The method consists in that the solution is treated at a pH of 4 to 6 with ammonium chloride or sulphate to prepare an ammonium-vandate salt precipitate which is then dissolved in hot water, and recrystallized by a mineral acid. The new precipitate of the ammonium-vanadate salt is calcined to prepare vanadium pentoxide. The advantage of the proposed method is a highly increased degree of precipitation of the ammonium-vanadate salt from the solution of sodium vanadate and a corresponding decrease of vanadium loss with wastes to at least four times.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A method of preparing vanadium pentoxide comprising the steps of: processing a solution of sodium vanadate at a pH of from 4 to 6 with at least one substance selected from the group consisting of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate at a temperature of from 20° to 40° C. to precipitate ammonium-sodium decavanadate, the substance being present in an amount not exceeding 0.84 gram, calculated as NH 4 , per gram of vanadium pentoxide in the solution of sodium vanadate; dissolving the ammonium-sodium decavanadate in hot water to prepare a solution of the ammonium-sodium decavanadate with a concentration of from 70 to 100 grams/liter of vanadium pentoxide; processing the obtained solution of ammonium-sodium decavanadate with a mineral acid to precipitate ammonium polyvanadate; and calcining the ammonium polyvanadate to prepare vanadium pentoxide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
131 words
A method of preparing vanadium pentoxide comprising the steps of: processing a solution of sodium vanadate at a pH of from 4 to 6 with at least one substance selected from the group consisting of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate at a temperature of from 20° to 40° C. to precipitate ammonium-sodium decavanadate, the substance being present in an amount not exceeding 0.84 gram, calculated as NH 4 , per gram of vanadium pentoxide in the solution of sodium vanadate; dissolving the ammonium-sodium decavanadate in hot water to prepare a solution of the ammonium-sodium decavanadate with a concentration of from 70 to 100 grams/liter of vanadium pentoxide; processing the obtained solution of ammonium-sodium decavanadate with a mineral acid to precipitate ammonium polyvanadate; and calcining the ammonium polyvanadate to prepare vanadium pentoxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the solution of sodium vanadate is processed with the substance selected from the group consisting of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate at a pH of from 4.4 to 4.8.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the substance selected from the group consisting of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate is present in an amount of from 0.5 to 0.6 gram, calculated as NH 4 , per gram of vanadium pentoxide in the solution of sodium vanadate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the step of filtering the solution of ammonium-sodium decavanadate prior to processing the solution of ammonium-sodium decavanadate with the mineral acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the solution of ammonium-sodium decavanadate is processed with the mineral acid at a temperature of from 90° to 100° C. and a pH of from 2 to 5.5.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the solution of ammonium-sodium decavanadate is processed with the mineral acid for a period of from 0.3 to 2 hours.
