Abstract
With the accelerated development of strategic emerging industries, the demand for vanadium has been consistently increasing each year. To address the challenges associated with the oxidation leaching of vanadium in landfilled metallic residues, we propose a research framework utilizing cavitation/hydrogen peroxide-based advanced oxidation processes (CH-AOPs) to enhance oxidation reactions. Under optimal conditions, the leaching rate of vanadium reached 69.1 % following 15 min of CH-AOP treatment. During the CH-AOP reaction, various oxidative free radicals, including singlet oxygen (1O2), superoxide (O2−), and hydroxyl radicals (•OH), interacted with H+ and F−, which disrupted the cohesive structure of silicates. This disruption facilitated the release of vanadium from the interfacial region through a coordination-driven release mechanism. The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments revealed that the contribution of the oxidizing free radicals to the reaction process followed this order: •OH >1O2 > O2−. In addition, the utilization of CH-AOPs mitigated the environmental impact of waste accumulation.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
