Abstract

바나듐은 주로 광물의 미량 성분으로 존재하기 때문에 바나듐 광상은 바나듐이 농축된 광물이 국부적으로 농집되어 있는 곳이라기보다는 부산물에서 바나듐을 회수할 수 있는 광상을 의미한다. 바나듐 광상은 VTM, SSV, 함바나듐 셰일 그리고 바나듐산염 광상의 4가지로 크게 구분된다. 함바나듐 자철석광상은 철질~고철질 암석에 배태되며 바나듐은 주로 자철석에 함유되어 있다. 자철석 내에는 흔히 티탄철석이 용리엽이나 공정을 형성하고 있어서 분쇄를 통해 정광의 품위를 어느 수준 이상으로 높이는 것은 불가능하다. 정광에서 Si, Al, Mg, Ca과 같은 불순물 원소의 함량을 낮추기 위해서는 정확한 광물학적 분석이 필요하다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 추가적인 정선을 실시하여 정광의 품위를 높일 수 있을 것이다.

Because vanadium mainly exists as a trace element in minerals, vanadium deposit refers to a deposit capable of recovering vanadium from by-products rather than a reserve where vanadium-enriched minerals are locally concentrated. Vanadium deposits are largely divided into four types: VTM, SSV, shale-hosted vanadium, and vanadate deposits. VTM deposits, where vanadium is mostly present in magnetite, is embedded in mafic–ultramafic rocks. Ilmenite often forms exsolution lamellae or intergrowth in magnetite; therefore, it is impossible to upgrade the concentrate to a certain level or higher via further grinding. In-depth mineralogical characterization of ore minerals should be conducted to reduce the content of impurities such as Si, Al, Mg, and Ca in the concentrate. Based on this, subsequent cleaner stages can probably upgrade the vanadium concentrate.
