    Aiming at the high efficiency leaching of W and V in a SCR denitration catalyst, the microwave assisted leaching of W and V in waste SCR catalyst was studied. The results show that under the conditions of microwave power of 600 W, reaction time of 1 h, reaction temperature of 60 ℃, sodium hydroxide concentration of 40% and liquid volume/solid mass ratio of 7.5/1, the leaching rates of W and V in SCR denitration catalyst can reach 89.96% and 96.32%, respectively. After leaching the alkaline leaching residue with 4 mol/L HCl solution for 1 h, TiO2 with a purity of 98.76% is obtained. Compared with the traditional water bath heating method, microwave heating leaching method can not only improve the leaching rate of tungsten and vanadium on SCR denitrification catalyst, but also greatly shorten the test reaction time, which provides a reliable technical basis for the green effective leaching of W and V in SCR denitrification catalyst.

    Dephosphorization slag contains a large amount of valuable components such as CaO, SiO2, FeO, P2O5, etc., and has the potential to be used as soil amendment and fertilizer. To promote utilization of dephosphorization slag in agriculture, it is necessary to understand its dissolution behavior in the organic acid solution. The influence of pH and organic acid type on the dissolution ratios of various valuable elements from dephosphorization slag was investigated. The results show that the main mineral phases in the dephosphorization slag are RO phase, CaFeSiO4 matrix phase, and C2S-C3P solid solution. Ca and Si elements in the slag are mainly distributed in the C2S-C3P solid solution and CaFeSiO4 matrix phase, while the P element is enriched in the C2S-C3P solid solution. Fe element is mainly distributed in the RO phase. As the pH value decreased, the dissolution of slag is significantly promoted, and most of the dephosphorization slag can be dissolved in the citric acid solution. At pH=5, the dissolution ratios of Ca, Si, Mg elements are about 90%, and the P dissolution ratio is 68.84%, achieving the dissolution of valuable elements.

    The mineral composition and valence state composition of vanadium clinker in vanadium slag and salt-free roasting stage at different temperature nodes were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and mineral analyzer. The results show that the contents of vanadium spinel, ferroolivine and calciferite decrease with the increase of roasting temperature, while the contents of iron oxide, ferrotitanite and manganese vanadate increase with the increase of roasting temperature. With the increase of roasting temperature, the oxidation of vanadium slag from V3+ to V4+ is gradually transformed into the internal oxidation of V3+ to V4+ and V4+ to V5+. The valence state of vanadium in vanadium spinel is V3+ and the valence state of vanadium in oxidation state is V4+. The mineral analysis results of vanadium slag and clinker are in good agreement with the valence analysis results of vanadium element.

    Aiming at leaching solution of indium residue produced by zinc hydrometallurgy, rotating disk extraction tower was used to separate indium and iron from the solution. The extraction effects of indium and iron ions in the solution, the extraction sequence of metal ions, the separation effect and emulsification of light and heavy phases was studied. The influences of the rotating disk rotating speed, feed flow rate, concentration of P204, solution acidity, reaction temperature and the phase ratio on separation effects were examined. The results show that under the optimal conditions of reaction temperature of 25 ℃, heavy phase volume flow rate of 7.8 L/h, P204 concentration of 20%, rotating disk rotating speed of 360 r/min, initial acidity of 60 g/L, VO/VA phase ratio of 1/1, the extraction rate of indium can reach 75%, the extraction rate of impurity element iron is less than 5%. The light and heavy phases are basically completely separated, and there is no emulsification. The result of extraction isotherms shows that complete extraction of indium can be achieved by three-stage countercurrent extraction under the condition of VO/VA phase ratio of 1/1. The loaded organic phase is pre-washed with dilute sulfuric acid, and then stripping with 5 mol/L hydrochloric acid under the condition of VO/VA=1/1. And the extraction rate of indium is more than 98%. After the replacement treatment, the stripping solution can be directly returned to zinc hydrometallurgy, the organic phase can be recycled after scrubbing.
