To provide a method for separating and recovering impurities in a molten salt, which removes the impurities from the molten salt used for burning of an organic substance to prevent the impurities from adversely affecting the molten salt, recovers valuable metals such as vanadium and nickel from the molten salt, and recycles them, and to provide an apparatus therefor.
The separating and recovering method comprises (1) cooling/pulverizing the molten salt and dissolving the product in an aqueous solution to precipitate/separate nickel sulfide; and (2) further supplying solid carbon and chlorine gas to the molten salt 16 to convert a vanadate ion to a metallic vanadium ion 17, and electrolyzing the solution to deposit the metallic vanadium ion on the surface of a cathode 20.
