An experimental research was performed on pre-enrichment of a weathered low-grade vanadium-bearing stone coal ore to solve the problems of complex flow and high cost for the existing direct vanadium-extraction process. The process mineralogy study shows that the predominant vanadium minerals in the stone coal ore are vanadium-bearing limonite and vanadium-bearing mica, both being weakly magnetic, and a superconducting magnetic separation (SMS) plus sedimentation process is proposed for pre-enrichment of vanadium. With magnetic field strength of 4 T and slurry flow rate of 8.0 L/min, SMS produced a pre-enriched concentrate with V2O5 grade of 1.44% at a recovery of 55.08%. The SMS tailings were then subjected to sedimentation and classification to further recover vanadium, leading to the final concentrate with V2O5 grade of 1.03% and recovery of 79.48%, presenting that 59.02% tailings were discarded. With this pre-enrichment process, vanadium in the stone coal ore can be efficiently reclaimed, which meets the requirements for subsequent metallurgical vanadium extraction.
