Two types of regenerated solutions, namely NH4C1 (l mol/L) and dilute H2SO4 (0.5 tool/L), were employed to treat the used catalyst. The effects of temperature and the regeneration process on the structural and textural properties of the catalysts were determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N2 adsorption/desorption, elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results suggest that the anatase phase of the used catalyst is maintained after exposure to high temperatures. Some of the catalytic activity was restored after regeneration. The catalyst regenerated by aqueous NH4C1 had a higher activity than that of the catalyst treated by dilute H2SO4. The main reason is that the NH3 generated from the decomposition of NH4C1 at high temperatures can be adsorbed onto the catalyst which promotes the reaction. The aggregated V205 were partially re-dispersed during the regeneration process, and the intrinsic oxidation of ammonia with high concentrations of O2 is a factorthat suppresses the catalytic activity.展开更多
