Vanadium recovery from steel slag scales up
A hydrometallurgical process for recovering vanadium from slag, a byproduct of steelmaking, has been significantly scaled up. Previously deployed at mini-pilot and bench scales, the process, developed by Neometals Ltd., has now been expanded by a factor of 25, to process 14 tons of slag (corresponding to a throughput of around 25 kg/h) from three different steel …
