description Rhenium metal is extensively utilized in the aerospace industry for the manufacturing of various superalloys due to its unique properties, and plays an indispensable role in the field of high technology. Rhenium resources are primarily associated with copper, molybdenum, and other metal ores. Ammonium perrhenate is predominantly derived from copper and molybdenum ore roasting flue gas scrubbers containing various impurities in the rhenium-containing contaminated acid. The complex composition of the contaminated acid renders the enrichment and purification of ammonium perrhenate more challenging, necessitating further research and development of the technology. This paper reviews the research progress in ammonium perrhenate enrichment and purification technology, encompassing chemical precipitation, adsorption, extraction, ion exchange, extraction chromatography, and recrystallization. It analyses the advantages and limitations of various methods, with the aim of providing a reference for future developments in ammonium perrhenate enrichment and purification technology. Furthermore, the paper presents a prospective view on the development of ammonium perrhenate enrichment and purification technology, focusing on the objective of obtaining more selective purification materials and more efficient purification techniques for ammonium perrhenate.
