What is Vanadium?
Vanadium is light gray or silver-white, a malleable solid, shiny powder or molten hard block. Insoluble in water; resistant to corrosion, but soluble in nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid; corroded by alkali to form water-soluble vanadate. Act as metal or non-metal, Chemicalbook and form various complex compounds. The properties of vanadium are similar to those of tantalum and niobium. The British chemist Rothko has studied its properties and determined that it is similar to tantalum and niobium. This established the basis for the three of them to build a group in the periodic table.
The application of Vanadium:
The main use of vanadium is as an alloy metal to make strong and corrosion-resistant steel, which is very suitable for structures such as nuclear reactors. It does not absorb neutrons or "stretch" due to heat and stress like ordinary stainless steel, making vanadium an ideal choice for building nuclear reactors. Certain compounds of vanadium, especially oxides, are used as Chemicalbook catalysts in the chemical industry to accelerate organic chemical reactions. reaction. Yellow-brown vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to promote the production of sulfuric acid through the contact method. Vanadium pentoxide is also used as a photographic developer to dye textiles and in the production of synthetic rubber. When used in combination with glass, it can act as a filter to resist the ultraviolet rays in the sun.
Due to the excellent characteristics of vanadium in electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, it is widely used in the field of semiconductor electronic packaging.
