摘要/Abstract

摘要： The improper disposal of spent selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts causes environmental pollution and metal resource waste. A novel process to recover anatase titanium dioxide (TiO₂) from spent SCR catalysts was proposed. The process included alkali (NaOH) hydrothermal treatment, sulfuric acid washing, and calcination. Anatase TiO₂ in spent SCR catalyst was reconstructed by forming Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ nanosheet during NaOH hydrothermal treatment and H₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ during sulfuric acid washing. Anatase TiO₂ was recovered by decomposing H₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ during calcination. The surface pore properties of the recovered anatase TiO₂ were adequately improved, and its specific surface area (SSA) and pore volume (PV) were 85 m²·g^-1 and 0.40 cm³·g^-1, respectively. The elements affecting catalytic abilities (arsenic and sodium) were also removed. The SCR catalyst was resynthesized using the recovered TiO₂ as raw material, and its catalytic performance in NO selective reduction was comparable with that of commercial SCR catalyst. This study realized the sustainable recycling of anatase TiO₂ from spent SCR catalyst.
