Abstract

A process for removal of vanadium from wet process phosphoric acid comprising the steps of; PA0 (i) adsorbing an anionic pentavalent complex of vanadium, derived from the wet process phosphoric acid, onto an anion exchange resin or into an organic layer; and PA0 (ii) reducing the vanadium complex to trivalent and/or tetravalent vanadium so as to selectively strip vanadium from the anion exchange resin or from the organic layer.
