Hydrometallurgical process development to recycle valuable metals from spent SCR deNOX catalyst

Abstract Spent catalyst, containing vanadium and tungsten oxide in a TiO2 glass fiber matrix, pose a risk of environmental contamination due to the high toxicity of its metal oxides if leached into the soil when disposed in landfills. Due to the increasing demand of metals and the continuous depleti...
