Abstract

Vanadium and tungsten can be obtained by separating/recovering the leaching solution from a spent SCR DeNOX catalyst using the soda roasting-water leaching process. Therefore, in this study, the adsorption/desorption mechanism of vanadium and tungsten in an ion-exchange column was investigated using Lewatit MonoPlus MP 600, a strong basic anion exchange resin. The operating conditions for the separation of vanadium and tungsten in the ion-exchange column was intended to present. By conducting a continuous adsorption experiment in a pH 8.5 solution, the adsorption capacity of vanadium and tungsten was found to be 44.75 and 64.92 mg/(g of resin), respectively, which showed that the adsorption capacity of tungsten was larger than that of vanadium because of the difference in ion charge. Vanadium has a higher affinity for MP 600 than tungsten. Consequently, as the vanadium-containing solution is eluted through the ion exchange resin onto which tungsten is adsorbed, the adsorbed tungsten is exchanged with vanadium and desorbed. A continuous experiment was performed with a solution of vanadium and tungsten prepared at the same concentration as the spent SCR DeNOX catalyst leachate. The adsorption capacity of vanadium was found to be 48.72 mg/(g of resin) and 80% of the supplied vanadium was adsorbed; in contrast, almost no tungsten was adsorbed. Therefore, vanadium and tungsten were separated effectively. The ion exchange resin was treated with 2 M HCl at 15 mL/h, and 97.7% of the vanadium(99% purity) could be desorbed. After desorption, NH4Cl was added to precipitate ammonium polyvanadate at 90℃ and recover 93% of the vanadium.

SCR 탈질 폐촉매로부터 바나듐과 텅스텐은 소다배소-수침출 공정을 통해 얻은 침출액으로부터 분리/회수하여 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 강염기성 음이온교환수지인 Lewatit monoplus MP 600을 사용하여 연속식 이온교환칼럼에서 수용액에 용해되어 있는 바나듐과 텅스텐의 흡·탈착 거동을 알아보고, 바나듐/텅스텐 분리를 위한 연속식 이온교환칼럼 운전조건을 제시하고자 하였다. 수용액 pH 8.5에서 단일 성분 수용액으로 연속식 흡착실험을 수행한 결과, 흡착용량은 바나듐 44.75 mg/(g of resin)과 텅스텐 64.92 mg/(g of resin)으로 바나듐보다 텅스텐의 흡착용량이 크게 나타났으며 이는 이온교환수지에 흡착되는 이온의 전하수가 바나듐 보다는 텅스텐이 작기 때문이라고 사료된다. 텅스텐이 흡착된 이온교환수지에 바나듐 함유 수용액이 공급됨에 따라 이온교환수지에 흡착되었던 텅스텐이 바나듐과 교환되며 탈착되는 거동을 보였으며, 이로부터 MP 600에 대하여 바나듐이 텅스텐보다 친화도(affinity)가 높음을 알 수 있었다. SCR 탈질 폐촉매 침출액과 동일한 농도의 바나듐과 텅스텐 혼합용액으로 pH 8.5에서 연속식 실험을 수행한 결과 바나듐의 흡착 용량은 48.72 mg/(g or resin)으로 공급량의 80%가 흡착된 반면 텅스텐의 경우 이온교환수지에 흡착된 양이 거의 0에 근접하며 바나듐과 텅스텐의 분리가 효과적으로 이루어졌다. 바나듐이 흡착된 이온교환수지로부터 2M HCl를 15 mL/h로 공급하여 97.7%의 바나듐을 99%의 순도로 탈착시킬 수 있었다. 탈착용액으로부터 염화암모늄을 침전제로 사용하여 90℃에서 암모늄폴리바나데이트 형태로 93%의 바나듐을 회수하였다.
