Description

Vanadium oxide (V2O5), brown-yellow orthorhombic crystals, density is 3.35g/cm3; melting point is 670℃, decomposition point is 1800℃. It is slightly soluble in water, 0.8g/100mL at 20℃, soluble in concentrated acid to form orange-yellow solution, soluble in alkali to form vanadate. Vanadium oxide (V2O5) produces toxic fumes when heated and decomposed. Vanadium is widely distributed in various minerals and fossil fuels in the earth's crust. Vanadium oxide (V2O5) is the oxide form of vanadium and is the main commercial product of vanadium, mainly used in the production of iron and aluminum alloys. As an important vanadium compound, it is used as the main precursor of vanadium alloys and is widely used as an industrial catalyst.

Vanadium oxide (V2O5) Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Direct method vanadium fine powder and soda ash are roasted at high temperature to produce sodium metavanadate, which is added with sulfuric acid to neutralize under heating and stirring to prepare vanadium pentoxide. Its 4(FeO?V2O5)+4Na2CO3+3O2→2Fe2O3+8NaVO3+4CO2↑2NaVO3+H2SO4→Na2SO4+V2O5+H2O indirect method vanadium ore and sodium chloride are formed into balls and then oxidized and roasted to obtain sodium metavanadate and hydrochloric acid It produces crude vanadium pentoxide, which is then treated with sodium hydroxide and ammonium chloride to obtain ammonium metavanadate. The ammonium metavanadate is heated to 500°C for roasting and decomposition to produce vanadium pentoxide. Its 4(FeO?V2O5)+8NaCl+3O2→2Fe2O3+8NaVO3+4C12↑2NaVO3+2HCl+H2O→2NC1+V2O5+2H2OV2O5+2NaOH→2NaVO3+H2ONaVO3+NH4C1→NaCl+NH4VO3↓2NH4VO2+NH3VO2+ ↑

Uses

As catalyst in the oxidation of SO2 to SO3, alcohol to acetaldehyde, etc.; for the manufacture of yellow glass; inhibiting ultraviolet light transmission in glass; depolarizer; as developer in photography; in form of ammonium vanadate as mordant in dyeing and printing fabrics and in manufacture of aniline black.
