The viability of beneficiating vanadium pentoxide to ferrovanadium in South Africa

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Mining Engineering.
University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering / Hlstorically South Africa has enjoyed a privileged position with its vast natural resource
base in that it has.not needed to generate wealth but has merely explored this base, The
only true way to create wealth, is to add value to a commodity by means of beneficiation,
South Africa is the world's largest producer of vanadium accounting for approximately 70% of the western world's requirements. Unfortunately the South African producers of vanadium mainly export vanadium in the form of slag and pentoxide, instead or ferrovanadium and other prime alloys. ( Abbreviation abstract) / AC 2018
