Event: HYDROMETALLURGY CONFERENCE - Cape Town, 1 – 3 September 2024

Two topics will be presented at the Hydrometallurgy Conference as part of the VALORE developments:

  • Crystallization of Battery Grade Vanadyl Sulphate from Bayer Liquor 
  • Upscaling Gallium extraction from Bayer liquor during aluminium production

 

Summary: Crystallization of Battery Grade Vanadyl Sulphate from Bayer Liquor

Paper explores alternative techniques for the direct crystallization of high purity vanadyl sulphate (VOSO4.xH2O) from a vanadium strip liquor in a temperature-controlled jacketed batch reactor. Different candidate antisolvents (acetone/ethanol/isopropanol) are used at different concentrations, to induce supersaturation required for VOSO4.xH2O crystallization.

Accepted for an oral presentation + full paper to be submitted and published in SAIMM Journal.
