Abstract
Abstract With the gradual depletion of primary mineral sources, there is need of secondary recurring materials to carry out metal and mineral extractions. With due advancement in research, there is a huge amount of waste generating from variable resources and disposal of those waste material is creating an alarming situation. Vanadium need in India is met through imports only. The available ores and minerals consist of some negligible amount of vanadium, processing which is a costly affair. Keeping in view the above parameters, in the present study, an attempt has been made to extract vanadium from waste red mud, releasing from Aluminum industries. It has been observed that by using stoichiometric amount of alkali solution, with appropriate temperature and time, it is possible to extract about 98% of vanadium from red mud.
