Feasiblity of Utilzing Oil-Sands Fluid Coke As a Secondary Source Of FEASIBILITY OF UTILIZING OIL-SANDS FLUID COKE AS A SECONDARY SOURCE OF VANADIUM by Jing Feng A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Jing Feng 2017 Feasibility of Utilizing Oil-Sands Fluid Coke as A Secondary Source of Vanadium Jing Feng Master of Applied Science Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto 2017 ABSTRACT Oil-sands fluid coke (OSFC) is a major byproduct of upgrading Athabasca bitumen, which has a particularly high vanadium concentration (0.15 wt% and predominantly vanadyl porphyrins). This study explores the feasibility of extracting vanadium from OSFC. Chemical activation with KOH or NaOH converts organic vanadium in OSFC into water-soluble inorganic species. After chemical activation, water washing alone is able to dissolve over 98% of total vanadium in OSFC given enough time. Sequential washing enhances vanadium dissolution, shortens the washing process, and reduces the water usage by removing other elements (Ca, Ni, Fe, Al and Si) in the first stage. Overall, it is technically feasible to recover over 90% of vanadium in OSFC as calcium vanadate via alkali metal hydroxide chemical activation, sequential water washing and calcium precipitation of vanadium. This process would allow the recycle, reuse of alkali metal hydroxide, and produce highly porous activated carbon. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly, I would like to express my greatest appreciation to my supervisor, Professor Charles Q. Jia, for his support, encouragement, and guidance in my research over the past years. I am very grateful for everything he has done for me and for my development. I would also like to thank Professor Donald W. Kirk for his kind advice throughout my entire research. They have always made time for me and they have always been there for me when I struggled. Next, I must thank Jocelyn Zuliani for the training in lab work. Along with all the members in Green Technology, Celine, Leyan, Randeep, Johnathon, and Daniel. I am sure without any of you, the time I have spent in the department would have been less enjoyable. I am very glad that I have met and worked with all these wonderful people. I am also very grateful to Dan Mathers and Jared Mudrik from ANALEST at Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto. They are always patient with my questions and concerns on analytical instruments, and thanks to their excellent training, I manage to learn a lot about instrument troubleshooting. Last but not least, I would like to acknowledge my dearest family. I want to thank them for unconditional support regardless of my path in academia. Their support and their understanding literally have helped me to go through any difficult times and to conquer any challenges. iii TABLE OF CONTENT ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii TABLE OF CONTENT ................................................................................................................. iv LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................................ vii LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................... ix CHAPTER 1.

Gray Abstract The dianionic oxo ligand occupies a very special place in coordination chemistry, owing to its ability to donate p electrons to stabilize high oxidation states of metals. The ligand field theory of multiple bonding in oxo-metal ions, which was formulated in Copenhagen 50 years ago, predicts that there must be an “oxo wall” between Fe–Ru–Os and Co–Rh–Ir in the periodic table. In this tribute to Carl Ballhausen, we review this early work as well as new developments in the field. In particular, we discuss the electronic structures of beyond-the-wall (groups 9 and 10) complexes containing metals multiply bonded to O- and N-donor ligands.

  • Uranium and Vanadium Binding Studies for the Selective Extraction of Uranium from Seawater
    Uranium and vanadium binding studies for the selective extraction of uranium from seawater By Bernard Frederick Parker A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor John Arnold, Chair Professor T. Don Tilley Professor Alexander Katz Summer 2017 1 Abstract Uranium and vanadium binding studies for the selective extraction of uranium from seawater by Bernard Frederick Parker Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor John Arnold, Chair Chapter 1 An introduction to the uranium from seawater project. Chapter 2 A non-oxo V(V) complex with glutaroimide-dioxime (H3L), a ligand for recovering uranium from seawater, was synthesized from aqueous solution as Na[V(L)2]2H2O, and the structure determined by x-ray diffraction. It is the first non-oxo V(V) complex that has been directly synthesized in and crystallized from aqueous solution. The distorted octahedral structure contains two fully deprotonated ligands (L3-) coordinating to V5+, each in a tridentate mode. Using 17O-labelled vanadate, concurrent 17O/51V/1H/13C NMR, in conjunction with ESI-MS, unprecedentedly demonstrated the stepwise displacement of the oxo V=O bonds by glutaroimide-dioxime and verified the existence of the “bare” V5+/glutaroimide-dioxime - complex, [V(L)2] , in aqueous solution. In addition, the crystal structure of an intermediate 1:1 - V(V)/glutaroimide-dioxime complex, [VO2(HL)] , in which the oxo bonds of vanadate are only partially displaced, corroborates the observations by NMR and ESI-MS.

Although it has been shown that the relative disposition of the Fe−O and C−H bonds can control the rate of H• abstraction and fate of the resultant substrate radical, there remains a paucity of structural information on the actual ferryl states, owing to their high reactivity. We demonstrate here that the stable vanadyl ion [(VIV-oxo)2+] binds along with 2OG or its decarboxylation product, succinate, in the active site of two different Fe/2OG enzymes to faithfully mimic their transient ferryl states. Both ferryl and vanadyl complexes of the Fe/2OG halogenase, SyrB2, remain stably bound to its carrier protein substrate (L-aminoacyl-S-SyrB1), whereas the corresponding complexes harboring transition metals (Fe, Mn) in lower oxidation states dissociate. In the well-studied taurine:2OG dioxygenase (TauD), the disposition of the substrate C−H bond relative to the vanadyl ion defined by pulse electron paramagnetic resonance methods is consistent with the crystal structure of the reactant complex and computational models of the ferryl state.

S. A. (Received: November 1, 2002; Accepted: January 2, 2003) ABSTRACT The biological fate of a chelated vanadium source is investigated by/n vivo spectroscopic methods to elucidate the chemical form in which the metal ion is accumulated. A pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance study of vanadyl ions in kidney tissue, taken from rats previously treated with bis(ethylmaltolato)oxovanadium(IV) (BEOV) in drinking water, is presented. A combined approach using stimulated echo (3-pulse) electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and the two dimensional 4-pulse hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) spectroscopies has shown that at least some of the VO2+ ions are involved in the coordination with nitrogen-containing ligands. From the experimental spectra, a 4N hyperfine coupling constant of 4.9 MHz and a quadrupole coupling constant of 0.6 + 0.04 MHz were determined, consistent with amine coordination of the vanadyl ions.
