Abstract

The solvent extraction of vanadium and molybdenum by tri-n-octylmethylammonium chloride (TOMAC) from neutral solutions was studied and it was found that vanadium was extracted preferentially by an anion exchange mechanism. The pentavalent vanadyl anion in the organic solution was found to be reduced to the form of tetra- or trivalent cations by contact with an aqueous solution containing a reduction agent such as L-ascorbic acid. This enables the vanadium to be stripped selectively by chemical reduction, with the molybdenum remaining in the organic phase
