摘要

Using ammonium metavanadate as the raw material, vanadium trioxide was prepared by using ammonia gas produced by the self-thermal decomposition of ammonium metavanadate and external carbon powder as the reducing agent in a tube furnace. The effects of the reaction temperature, reaction time, and carbon content on the purity of vanadium trioxide were investigated. The results show that high-purity vanadium trioxide with a V content higher than 67% can be obtained after a calcination under 750 °C for 6 h with 6.8 wt% carbon powder. The prepared vanadium trioxide and vanadium pentoxide reacted in a sulfuric acid system at a certain ratio to obtain a 3.5-valent vanadium electrolyte. The concentrations of vanadium and sulfate were 1.69 and 4.65 mol/L, respectively. The prepared electrolyte has good electrochemical performance.
