The invention discloses a metal vanadium production method. The metal vanadium production method comprises the following procedures: vanadium oxide and carbon reducing agent in the simple substance form are adopted as the raw material, which are mixed to form a mixture according to the chemical reaction stoichiometric proportion of VCmOn and CO generated from the vanadium oxide and the carbon reducing agent in the simple substance, the mixture is molded by pressing, and therein m is larger than 0 and less than and equal to 1, n is larger than 0 and less than and equal to 1, and m is less than and equal to n; within the temperature range of 800 to 1600 DEG C, the mixture molded by pressing reacts, to generate VCmOn with an electric conduction performance; the VCmOn is adopted as the consumption anode, conducting material is adopted as the cathode, halide molten salt systems of the alkali metal, halide molten salt systems of the alkaline earth metal or the combination are adopted as the electrolytic solution therefore to combine the electrolytic cell, the electrolysis is performed within the temperature range of 400 to 1000 DEG C, during the electrolysis process, the carbon and oxygen contained at the consumption anode form gas of CO, CO2 or O2 which is discharged, and simultaneously vanadium enters into the electrolytic solution in the ion form and deposited at the cathode to obtain metal vanadium.
