Separation of vanadium pentoxide from chromium waste

It is a well-known fact that the underground and surface resources in our world are being consumed rapidly in production areas, and as a result, there are problems in the supply of some raw materials. In today's world, where production is increasing day by day, processed chemicals and mines both increase the costs of raw materials and cause great damage to nature. As a result, countries develop policies that will provide added value with waste management, recycling projects and zero waste philosophy. In this study, pure vanadium pentoxide was obtained from the waste containing Si, Cr and V elements. In the analysis of the obtained compound, FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDS and ICP-OES analyzes were performed. As a result of the analyzes made, it was determined that the vanadium pentoxide obtained from the waste was 99.4% pure.
