The low-frequency capabilities of infrared emission spectroscopy (IRES) were exploited to examine the reduction of vanadium pentoxide (V{sub 2}O{sub 5}) by ammonia and hydrogen, and the reoxidation of reduced vanadia by oxygen. The catalytic reduction of NO with NH{sub 3} over V{sub 2}O{sub 5} powder in the absence of O{sub 2} was also investigated with IRES. The reduction of V{sub 2}O{sub 5} was found to occur stepwise (V{sup 5+} {yields} V{sup 4+} {yields} V{sup 3+}), with the rate being controlled by the diffusion of oxygen through the crystal lattice. Vanadia reduction occurred even in high NO/NH{sub 3} atmospheres, although the presence of NO did effect the rate of reduction.
