Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the separation of vanadium in the form of vanadium oxide, iron-vanadium-oxide, or iron-vanadium from solutions containing both dissolved iron and dissolved vanadium, wherein an aqueous solution containing dissolved iron and vanadium in a molar iron-to-vanadium ratio of above 1:1, preferably above 1:1 and up to 10000:1, more preferably between 5:1 and 1000:1, even more preferably between 5:1 and 100:1, and most preferably between 10:1 and 50:1 and optionally also other elements is oxidized in an oxidation step with a gaseous oxidation media, and wherein the amount of acid in the aqueous solution is kept below the stoichiometric amount of acid required during bivalent iron oxidation and the precipitate thus formed is removed from the solution.
