Sulphuric Acid Plant Safety - Vanadium
Pentoxide Catalyst
Februrary 26, 2002
Typical vanadaium pentoxide catalyst contain the following substances:
Causes eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation
Repeated and prolonged inhalation can cause delayed lung damage
Suspected cancer hazard
Contains quartz which may cause cancer
Precautionary Measures When Handling
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing
Avoid breathing dust
Keep containers closed
Use with adequate ventilation
Wash thoroughly after handling
| Eye Contact | Immediately flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention immediately. |
| Skin Contact | Immediately flush with lots of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Obtain medial attention immediately. Used clothing should be disposed of properly or washed before reusing. |
| Inhalation | Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artifical respiration. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Obtain medical attention immediately. |
| Spill or Leak | Shovel the bulk of
the material into a steel drum.
Sweep up the remaining material.
Wash down the area of the spill.
Wash water should be contained and disposed of properly. |
| Eye Protection | Wear chemical goggles and have an eye wash station available. |
| Skin Protection | Wear chemical resistant gloves and clothing to protect exposed skin. Disposable clothing is preferable to cleaning and reusing clothing. |
| Respiratory Protection | Avoid breathing dust. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment. |
| Ventilation | Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels. |
Waste or used catalyst should be disposed of in an approved chemical landfill in accordance with all applicable local, provincial, state and federal laws and regulations. Metal reclaimers are available to recover vanadium pentoxide V2O5 from waste material.
