Cumulative leaching behavior in sustainable vanadium extraction from V-slag using Ba-Slag
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study explores a sustainable “waste-to-value” approach that employs barium slag (Ba-slag), a byproduct of BaCO 3 production, as a roasting additive for vanadium extraction from V-slag. Key challenges addressed include isolating a pure V product from a multi-component leachate, explaining the leaching characteristics, and managing the tailings. In this work, a roasted mixture of Ba-slag and V-slag was leached under optimized conditions, yielding a leachate from which V 2 O 5 with 99.50 % purity was recovered via precipitation and calcination. Tailings were repurposed into foamed ceramics, achieving a maximum compressive strength of 4.05 MPa as a potential structural component. Optimal leaching parameters, 30 wt% H 2 SO 4 , 80 °C, and a holding time of 90 min, resulted in a peak V leaching efficiency of 90.67 %. The leaching efficiency increased initially but declined under excessive leaching conditions due to cumulative effects. Elemental migration, crystal phase evolution, and morphology and elemental distribution analyzes revealed that Ba 3 V 2 O 8 acts as the intermediate for V concentration, with newly formed small BaSO 4 particles on the tailings surface confirmed cumulative effects. Further, a novel method for calculating kinetic parameters was proposed to elucidate the cumulative characteristics. The cumulative rate constant ( k d ) ranged from 0.0009 to 0.006, while the activation energy ( E a) ranged from 22.4 to 32.53kJ/mol, aligning with reported values and validating the reliability of the proposed calculation method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
