Abstract:
In order to control nitrogen oxides emissions, V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts are widely applied in coal-fired power plants. Consequently, a large number of V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts are spent annually because of their short operating life. Although these spent catalysts contain amounts of heavy metals, they have also been regarded as a potential secondary resource for the recovery of valuable elements titanium, tungsten, and vanadium. Therefore, this study developed an efficient method for selective leaching of heavy metal vanadium with an "H2SO4 + Na2SO3" acid reduction system. The use of this leaching solution achieved nearly 100% efficiency in vanadium removal, and the effects of the leaching parameters on the vanadium leaching efficiencies were investigated. Subsequently, the titanium-enriched residue obtained from the leaching process was used to produce high-performance WO3-TiO2 photocatalysts with dominant {001} facets via a hydrothermal treatment. The influence of the amount of hydrogen fluoride on the morphology and percentage exposure of the {001} facets of the photocatalysts was studied systematically. The method proposed in this study constitutes a novel and sustainable approach for the disposal of spent V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts.
