The V2O5-TiO2 catalyst produced by ultrasonic impregnation method was used to study the effects of different V loadings on the formation of SO3 at the catalyst surface. The samples were characterized by N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman analysis (Raman), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NH3 temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), H2 temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) methods. Results show that with the increase of active component V loading, the content of V4+ and V3+ formed on the catalyst during the reaction also increases, and when the acidity of the catalyst surface increases, the amount of oxygen (Oα) adsorbed by the VO bond on the catalyst surface will increase as well. After introduction of SO2, it will react with VO on the surface of the catalyst. V5+ is reduced to V4+ and can provide more surface that allows adsorption of oxygen (Oα), so that SO2 can be oxidized to VOSO4. On the other hand, SO2 will also react with the [V5+]-OH groups on the catalyst surface and produce HSO-4, and simultaneously, V5+ is reduced to V4+. During the reaction, O2 dose not directly provide O atoms to oxidize SO2 but reacts with VOSO4 to regenerate VO, transforming V4+ oxidized to V5+ again.
