Vanadium is a shiny silver-gray metal that is hard and malleable.
Important compounds of vanadium include vanadium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, vanadate and vanadium halides in various oxidation states. In nature, green sulfur vanadium ore and vanadium-lead ore mainly exist.
Vanadium is mainly used in the preparation of alloy steel and catalysts.
Physical properties:
Vanadium Vanadium is a shiny silver-gray metal with a relative density of 6.11g/cm³ (19°C), a melting point of 1917°C, and a boiling point of 3421°C. Resistivity 24.8x10⁻⁸Ω·m (20℃). Vanadium is one of the rare metals with high melting point. Pure vanadium is hard, non-magnetic and ductile. However, if it contains a small amount of impurities, especially nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, etc., its plasticity can be significantly reduced.
Preparation method:
Pure metallic vanadium is generally obtained by reducing vanadium pentoxide with potassium under high pressure. Most vanadium is a by-product of processing other minerals. Industrially, pure vanadium can also be produced by reducing vanadium pentoxide from aluminum and coke.
The thermite reduction method is to react vanadium pentoxide and pure aluminum in a reaction bomb to form a vanadium-aluminum alloy. Vanadium alloy is dealuminated at a high temperature of 2063K and in vacuum, and crude metal vanadium containing 94% to 97% of vanadium can be produced.
Applications:
✔Chromium vanadium steel hexagonal wrench. Adding a few percent of vanadium to the steel can greatly increase the elasticity and strength of the steel. It has excellent wear and burst resistance, and is resistant to both high temperature and extreme cold.
✔In addition, vanadium oxide has become one of the best catalysts in the chemical industry and is known as the "chemical bread".
✔Vanadium has many excellent physical and chemical properties, so it has a wide range of uses and is known as the metal "vitamin".
✔Vanadium is mainly used as an alloy additive in the steel industry. The development and changes of the steel industry are crucial to predicting the demand for vanadium.
✔Vanadium battery, vanadium battery Vanadium battery is one of the excellent green and environmentally friendly batteries with strong development momentum

History:
In 1803, Spanish mineralogist De Rio first claimed to have discovered vanadium in Mexico City. De Rio obtained a considerable amount of salt from raw materials containing "brown lead." "Brown lead" came from the mines of Hidalgo in northern Mexico and is now known as vanadium lead.
In 1831, Swedish chemist Severstrom obtained de Leo's "brown lead" and confirmed de Leo's discovery of vanadium. Seferstrom named it Vanadium in honor of the beautiful goddess Vanadis of the Nordic Germanic tribe (Vanadis is another name for Frena).
In 1867, British chemist Rothko obtained metallic vanadium by reducing vanadium dioxide with hydrogen.
