Vanadium Extraction Process - Mineral Processing
The vanadium-bearing ("blue liquor") is piped from Pond No. 3 through a decantation tower to Pond No. 4. A sump-type pump and Propeller Agitator mounted on pontoons in Pond No. 3 are used to mix and transfer the solids from this pond to Pond No. 7 where the solids are combined with the raffinate from the subsequent vanadium SX circuit.
