Vanadium Pentoxide
Rs. 1,000.00
Vanadium pentoxide is a brown/yellow solid with a bright orange hue when freshly precipitated from an aqueous solution. It is both an amphoteric oxide and an oxidizing agent due to its high oxidation state. From an industrial standpoint, it is the most significant vanadium compound, serving as the primary precursor to vanadium alloys and as a frequently used industrial catalyst.
