Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a mixing device for mixing components in a body of liquid (101), and an apparatus employing the mixing device. The mixing device comprises at least one mixing plate (102) of predetermined shape comprising a plurality of perforations (102a). The mixing plate (102) is adapted to be movably disposed within the body of liquid (101). Further, at least one drive mechanism (302) coupled to the at least one mixing plate (102). The drive mechanism (302) is configured to move the at least mixing plate (102) in the body of liquid (101) to accomplish turbulence in the body of liquid (101) for maintaining the components in a suspended state.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a process for recovering vanadium in the form of iron vanadate from a gasifier slag. The process comprises pulverizing the slag to obtain pulverized slag (2). The pulverized slag (2) is soaked in water (6) and an alkali salt (4) to obtain a slurry (8), followed by roasting the slurry in the presence of air to obtain roasted slag (12) which is leached (14) to obtain a first solution (18). The first solution (18) is heated at a temperature in the range of 60°C to 80°C while adding an iron salt (17) in an amount in the range of 10 wt% to 60 wt% at a pH in the range of 4 to 10, to obtain a second solid residue (21) which is dried to obtain iron vanadate (24).
