The article presents an overview of the basic technologies employed for the processing of these vanadiumcontaining materials. These technologies encompass a range of extraction methods, including roasting, leaching, solvent extraction, and precipitation. The specific techniques employed for each source material are discussed in detail, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Black shale ore, a significant source of vanadium, is explored for its extraction potential. Vanadium-containing titanium magnetite ores, known with their abundant vanadium content, are investigated as another prominent source. Additionally, spent vanadium catalysts, which are commonly utilized in several industrial processes, are examined as a potential source for vanadium extraction. Furthermore, vanadium-containing bauxite raw materials, oil, and steel production slags are evaluated for their vanadium extraction capabilities. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive understanding of the various sources of vanadium and the technologies employed for their extraction. The insights presented here will aid researchers and industry professionals in developing efficient and sustainable processes for vanadium extraction, ensuring a stable supply of this valuable transition metal for various applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keywords: Vanadium-Containing Sources, black shale ore, titanium magnetite ores, spent vanadium catalysts, bauxite residues, oil residues.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
