Abstract
Vanadium,a rare metal known for its unique physical and chemical properties,plays a significant role in industries such as steel,chemicals,and energy.In recent years,the demand for high-purity vanadium pentoxide(V2O5)has surged,driven by advancements in new energy,electronic materials,and the chemical industry,particularly in its application in all-vanadium redox flow batteries(VRFB).VRFB,a novel green and environmentally friendly large-scale energy storage system,offers advantages such as independent energy storage,adjustable power and capacity,and high safety.The core component of VRFB,the vanadium electrolyte,primarily relies on high-purity vanadium pentoxide as its raw material.The research progress in producing high-purity vanadium pentoxide from vanadium-containing solutions for energy storage applications was reviewed.It focuses on the vanadium extraction processes from various raw materials,including vanadium slag,vanadium-titanium magnetite,spent catalysts,and stone coal,as well as the main impurities present in these materials.To address impurities such as Fe,Al,Si,P,and Cr in vanadium-containing solutions,detailed purification methods,including chemical precipitation,solvent extraction,and ion exchange,as well as their advantages and disadvantages,were discussed.Chemical precipitation involves adding specific precipitants to form insoluble precipitates with impurity ions,thereby separating them from vanadium.Solvent extraction utilizes the difference in distribution coefficients between organic and aqueous phases to transfer vanadium from the aqueous phase to the organic phase.Ion exchange employs resin to adsorb vanadium ions,which are then eluted to achieve separation and purification.The studies show that chemical precipitation is effective in removing impurities such as Si,P,and Cr,but it consumes large amounts of chemicals,posing economic and environmental challenges.Solvent extraction is efficient in separating vanadium from elements like Mn and Fe,but the treatment of organic wastewater and the recovery of extractants remain technical difficulties.Ion exchange performs well in separating vanadium from P,Fe,and Cr,but the adsorption capacity of resins is significantly affected by temperature and pH value,and the regeneration cost is high.Future trends include:developing low-toxicity,high-efficiency,and recyclable extractants;optimizing ion exchange process to minimize eluent consumption;achieving direct high-purity vanadium precipitation via precise process control;advancing continuous,intelligent reaction-separation systems;and enhancing material recycling to support sustainable vanadium-based energy storage.These innovations aim to overcome current limitations in chemical consumption,wastewater treatment,and resin regeneration,driving greener and more cost-effective production of high-purity V2O5 for next-generation energy storage applications.
