Project Description
VRP1 aims to produce high-purity carbon-negative vanadium pentoxide without building a mine and a concentrator like existing primary producers.
The March 2023 feasibility study proposes an operation with a 300 000 t/y feed rate, with yearly production estimated at 19.1-million pounds of vanadium pentoxide at steady state over a 9.75-year plant life.
The objective of the VRP1 is to design, build and operate a vanadium recovery facility capable of processing 300 000 t/y of metallurgical slag.
The process plant is designed to recover up to 9 255 t/y of vanadium pentoxide.
