  2. The combustion of fuel oil in boilers Fuel oil Slag incrustation Fly ash acumulation

  3. The problem 60 ton/year Fly ash V Cd Fe Ni Slag

  4. Fly ash methodology Acid leaching HNO3, HCl, H2SO4 Crystallization 25°C 24h 20 – 40 g/L 75 °C solution Acid leaching H2SO4 Roasting 250 – 950 °C 0.5 – 2.0 h 25°C 24h 20 – 200 g/L cake Characterization Stabilization Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer A X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a D8 advance equipment Cake 33-60 % Cement 33-40 % Lime 10-33 %

  5. Fly ash characterizationby Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer

  6. Mineralogical content by X-ray diffraction (XRD) equipment fly ash roasted at 550 - 950°C

  7. Vanadium, nickel and iron recovery from stirred leaching (750rpm) with H2SO4 200 g/L and 25% solids on the fly ash burned at 350°C for 1.5 hours.

  8. Crystallization of the strong solution The strong solution produced from stirred leaching (750rpm) with H2SO4 200 g/L and 25% solids on the fly ash burned at 350°C for 1.5 hours.

  9. Stabilization of cake The cake produced from stirred leaching (750rpm) with H2SO4 200 g/L and 25% solids on the fly ash burned at 350°C for 1.5 hours • The standard of public sewer system discharge (Ecuador) • U.S. EPA 40 CFR 261.24 standards, EPA 2003 38% Cake 31% Cement 31% Lime

  10. Slag Leaching HNO3, HCl, H2SO4, HNO3+HCl, NH3, NaOH, NaCl, NH4Cl, Na2CO3 LeachingH2SO4 + Br / H2O2 20-300 g/L 25-80°C Roasting Leaching H2SO4 20-100 g/L 2 h 450-550°C Roasting NaCl, Na2CO3 Characterization Leaching H2O Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer A scanning electron microscope (MEB-EDX) A X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a D8 advance equipment 2 h 450-550°C 18-22% NaCl/Na2CO3 Crystallization 120-200 g/L 0.5-2.5 M Leaching H2SO4 Leaching Na2CO3 Stabilization

  11. Slagcharacterizationby Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer

  12. Components distribution of the slag sectionby scanning electron microscope (MEB-EDX) Increase 200x Increase 1500x V Ni Si Fe O

  13. Mineralogical content of the slagby X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a D8 advance equipment Slag roasted at 550 and 650 °C

  14. Recovery of vanadium, nickel and ironin solution by mean slag leaching

  15. Vanadium, nickel and iron recovery in solution by agitated leaching (750 rpm) with H2SO4 200 g/L, 25% solids at 70°C.

  16. Vanadium, nickel and iron recovery in solution from agitated leaching (750 rpm) of the solid residue (from H2SO4 leaching) with Na2CO3 2 M at 75°C.

  17. Crystallization of the strong solutions

  18. Stabilization of slag cake The cake produced from leaching sequence with H2SO4 and Na2CO3was constituted by • The standard of public sewer system discharge (Ecuador) • U.S. EPA 40 CFR 261.24 standards, EPA 2003 50% Cake 40% Cement 10% Lime

  19. ConclusionsFly ash The fly ashhas 5.42wt-% iron, 5.31wt-% vanadium and 1.61wt-% nickel, and amorphous material. (NaV6O15, NiV2O6, Na0.33V2O5, NiV2O6,Ca0,17V2O5, NaV6O15) Fly ash was roasted at 350°C for 1.5 hours and agitated leaching with H2SO4 200 g/L at 25°C, 25wt-% solids for 8 hours at 750 rpm in order to recover 91wt-% vanadium, 73wt-% nickel and 70wt-% iron in solution

  20. ConclusionsSlag The slag has 28.72wt-% vanadium, 8.16wt-% nickel, 1.62wt-% iron. (Ca0,17V2O5, Na0,33V2O5, Na0,76V6O15, NaV6O15, NiV2O6, SiO2) Slagwas leached with H2SO4 200 g/L at 70°C, 25wt-% solids for 4 hours stirring (750 rpm) followed by another leaching with Na2CO3 2 M, 75°C, 25wt-% solids and 8 hours in order to recover 75wt-% vanadium, 21wt-% nickel and 34wt-% iron The fly ash and slag processing is costly and complex. Their valorization for vanadium and nickel recovery is possible, but must be evaluated with large scale essays
