Alkaline extraction method with quaternary ammonium salt was proposed for deep removal of va- nadium from vanadium-containing ammonium tungstate solution and experimental research was carried out. The effects of organic phase composition and equilibrium aqueous pH on extraction were investigated as well as the effect of O/A ratio on stripping. Isotherms of extraction and stripping were plotted and the simulated multi-stage countercurrent extraction and stripping experiments were conducted. The results show that the concentration of vanadium in the aqueous phase drops below 10 mg/L and tungsten loss is below 5% after six-stage countercurrent extraction under the following conditions: organic phase composi- tion (volume fraction) of 1% N263, 5% 2-octanol and sulfonated kerosene,feed pH of 8.7 (by evaporation deamination pretreatment) ,phase ratio (O/A) of 1.25 : 1 and 25 ℃. Vanadium in the loaded organic phase can be completely stripped with 2 mol/L NaOH solution,and the stripped organic phase can be returned to the extraction process for recycle.
