Abstract
Research on metal recovery from waste is gaining interest in the context of the circular economy. Actual hydrometallurgical methods allow to recover vanadium from aqueous solution by ammonium precipitation, yet an excess dosage of ammonium salts induces ammonium pollution of the environment. Here, we tested the use of glycine, instead of ammonium salts, to precipitate vanadium ions. Results showed that 95.75% of vanadium was precipitated at 90 ℃ in 1 h with glycine/vanadium ratio of 6 at pH of 1.8. The influence of reaction factors decreased in the following order: reaction temperature, reaction time, glycine dosage, and sulfuric acid concentration, according to response surface methodology. Amino compounds are thus expected to represent alternative ligands to precipitate vanadium and other metals.
