About this document

Kieselguhr as V2O5 Catalyst Support by Santosh Jayasaval is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Kieselguhr, or diatomaceous earth, serves as a support for V2O5 catalysts in the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide, enhancing catalytic activity due to its porous structure. It is primarily used in processes like the Contact Process for sulfuric acid production and operates at high temperatures. Additionally, kieselguhr is a silica-based sedimentary rock made from fossilized diatoms.
