At present, vanadyl sulfate is mostly prepared from industrial vanadic anhydride, and has low quality and high impurity content, so that the vanadyl sulfate can not meet the high standard requirements in the fields of batteries and the like. Therefore, how to prepare high-purity vanadyl sulfate with low cost and high efficiency becomes one of the key points of sustainable development in multiple fields such as new energy and the like.
At present, the preparation method of high-purity vanadyl sulfate is mainly a solution purification method. The Chinese patent application number is searched as follows: CN201510698603.8, application date: 20151023, inventive name: the application discloses a preparation method of a high-purity vanadyl sulfate solution, which comprises the following steps: a) fe2+Oxidation of (2); b) fe3+Removing; c) removing chromium ions and preparing vanadyl hydroxide; d) preparing a high-purity vanadyl sulfate solution; the crude vanadyl sulfate solution is vanadyl sulfate solution with chromium content being more than or equal to 550.3mg/L and iron content being more than or equal to 269.6 mg/L. The vanadyl sulfate solution obtained by the method has the chromium content of less than or equal to 0.002 percent and the iron content of less than or equal to 0.0027 g/L.
The Chinese patent application number is searched as follows: CN201210108878.8, application date: 20120412, title of invention: a method for preparing vanadyl sulfate electrolyte of an all-vanadium redox flow battery. The method is characterized in that vanadyl sulfate solution obtained by leaching, back-extracting and resin analysis of vanadium slag and stone coal is adjusted in pH by using alkali metal or alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide, and an inorganic reducing agent is added; performing multi-stage countercurrent extraction by using P204 or P507, TBP and sulfonated kerosene extraction agent, and washing a vanadium-loaded organic phase after two-phase separation; carrying out multistage countercurrent back extraction on the vanadium-loaded organic phase by using a sulfuric acid solution at 2-5 stages to prepare vanadyl sulfate back extraction liquid; adjusting the pH value of the vanadyl sulfate back-extraction liquid, adding an organic reducing agent to adjust the potential value of the solution, extracting by using the extracting agent, separating two phases, washing the vanadium-loaded organic phase by using a sulfuric acid solution, and carrying out multi-stage counter-current back extraction by using the sulfuric acid solution to obtain a vanadyl sulfate solution; distilling to the concentration required by the all-vanadium redox flow battery. The method can prepare vanadyl sulfate with certain purity, but has a long preparation process, and simultaneously needs to add additives, reducing agents and the like with certain content, so that the improvement of the product purity is limited.
In addition, the melting crystallization method can also purify the substance, and the principle is that the property of the substance to be purified, which is different from the melting point of the impurity, is utilized, and the crystallization of the substance and the separation of the impurity are promoted under the driving force of the supersaturation degree or the supercooling degree in the crystallization process, so that the effect of improving the purity is achieved. The method does not need to add any dissolving (melting) agent and is environment-friendlyHigh efficiency, low energy consumption, short process flow and high product purity, and can be widely applied to the field of chemical industry. The vanadyl sulfate has a melting point as low as 105 ℃, contains impurity elements such as Fe, Al, Mn, Cr, Si and the like, and has a melting point with VOSO4The melting points are different greatly, the high-efficiency purification can be realized by adopting a melt crystallization method, and the high-efficiency separation can be realized by adopting centrifugal filtration on the sweating liquid, so that the impurity removal is enhanced.
