METHOD OF EXTRACTION OF RICH COMPONENTS FROM PRODUCTION SOLUTIONS FOR PROCESSING OF BLACK-SHALE ORES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C22B34/22 C22B34/34 C22B60/02 C22B59/00 C22B3/24 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: method includes sorption of rich components from production solutions by ion-exchange material counterflow under controlled pH of environment and oxidation-reduction potential Eh. Sorption is performed by ion-exchange materials in stages from production solutions containing uranium, molybdenum, vanadium and rare earth elements. At the first stage uranium and molybdenum are extracted by anion-exchange material sorption. At the second stage vanadium is extracted by anion-exchange material sorption with hydrogen dioxide available at Eh of 750-800 mV, pH of 1.8-2.0 and temperature of 60°C, at that vanadium sorption is performed till complete destruction of hydrogen dioxide and till Eh is below 400 mV. Then barren solutions are transferred to cationite at pH of 2.0-2.5 and Eh of 300-350 mV for extraction of rare earth elements.

EFFECT: sorption concentration and selective separation of uranium and molybdenum from vanadium, and vanadium from rare earth elements, and rare earth elements from iron and aluminium, intensification of sorption process, reduction of flow diagram and possibility of environmentally sound oxidants use.
