The Peruvian environmental regulations has obligated major nonferrous smelters, like the Copper Smelter in Ilo and the Metallurgical Complex of La Oroya, capture their sulfur dioxide emissions and convert them into commercial sulfuric acid instead of discharging directly to the atmosphere, avoiding pollution the surrounding environment. During the manufacture of sulfuric acid, vanadium pentoxide is used to catalyze the conversion of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfur trioxide (SO3). Gradually, the vanadium pentoxide loses its catalytic activities and must be replaced by fresh catalyst. The spent catalyst has toxic properties, so it must be disposed as hazardous waste in a safe and legal manner in Peru (e.g. secure landfills) to prevent damage to health and ecosystems. This paper proposes a method of processing spent vanadium pentoxide – containing catalyst by incorporation into fayalite slag of copper smelting. To test this hypothesis, we conducted laboratory and industrial tests by adding the spent catalyst to the reverberatory furnace charge. The results showed that vanadium is mainly present in the slag phase. This slag does not generate acidic water nor is it leached out by water under normal environmental conditions of temperature, acidity, alkalinity etc., so it could be disposed in slag dumps without causing surface water or groundwater contamination. We concluded the spent vanadium pentoxide – containing catalyst could be disposed with economic and environmental benefits by fixation into fayalite slag of copper smelting.
