Vanadium Pentoxide (V₂O₅) is a high-purity, versatile industrial compound valued for its exceptional catalytic properties and role as a premier vanadium source. Its thermal stability and low solubility make it a critical material across a wide spectrum of advanced industries.
Our high-quality Vanadium Pentoxide serves as a key component in the following applications:
1. Primary Industrial Catalyst
Vanadium Pentoxide is an indispensable catalyst in several large-scale chemical processes, enabling efficient and selective oxidation reactions. Its primary catalytic uses include:
* Sulfuric Acid Production: Serving as the workhorse catalyst in the contact process for converting sulfur dioxide (SO₂) to sulfur trioxide (SO₃).
* Organic Chemical Synthesis: Catalyzing the oxidation of various feedstocks for the production of essential chemicals such as:
* Phthalic Anhydride: A key precursor for plasticizers and unsaturated polyesters.
* Maleic Anhydride: A building block for resins, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
* Other Oxidation Processes: Including the oxidation of ethanol and the production of oxalic acid.
2. Strategic Precursor for Vanadium-Alloys & Functional Materials
V₂O₅ is the principal raw material for the manufacturing of a range of value-added, vanadium-containing materials:
* Ferrovanadium (FeV): A master alloy used to introduce vanadium into steel and titanium alloys, significantly enhancing strength, toughness, wear resistance, and high-temperature performance.
* Vanadium-based Chemicals: Acts as a starting material for other vanadium compounds like ammonium metavanadate (NH₄VO₃) and vanadium trioxide (V₂O₃).
3. Advanced Materials & Energy Applications
Leveraging its unique electronic and structural properties, Vanadium Pentoxide is integral to innovative technologies:
* Energy Storage: A critical precursor in the manufacturing of electrolytes for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs), a leading technology for large-scale, stationary energy storage.
* Specialty Glass & Ceramics: Imparts a vibrant green or blue coloration to glass and acts as an ultraviolet (UV) blocking agent. In ceramics, it is used to create colorful glazes and pigments.
* Magnetic Materials: Used in the production of soft magnetic ferrites for electronic applications like transformers and inductors.
* Phosphors: Serves as a host lattice or activator in certain phosphor materials for lighting and display applications.
