Overview of vanadium powder

Vanadium is a silvery-gray metal. The melting point of 1890℃ belongs to the list of high melting point rare metals. Its boiling point is 3380℃, pure vanadium is hard, non-magnetic, and ductile, but if it contains a small number of impurities, especially nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, etc., it can significantly reduce its plasticity. Soluble in nitric acid, aqua regia, concentrated sulfuric acid, etc. Vanadium is a kind of metal element with an element symbol of V, a silver-gray metal in the periodic table of the elements belonging to the VB group, atomic number 23, atomic weight of 50.9414, body-centered cubic crystal, Vanadium melting point is very high, refractory metal, ductility, hard, non-magnetic. It can resist hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, and the performance of gas resistance, salt resistance and water corrosion resistance is better than most stainless steel.

Applications of vanadium powder

Vanadium is used more and more widely in non-steel fields, including aerospace, chemistry, battery, pigment, glass, optics, medicine and many other fields.

Industrial: Steel, joining a few percent of vanadium, can make steel elasticity, strength increase, wear-resistance and anti-burst. It is excellent in both high-temperature resistance and anti-cold, so it is no wonder in the automobile, aviation, railway, electronic technology, national defense industry and other departments everywhere to see traces of vanadium. In addition, vanadium oxide has become one of the best catalysts in the chemical industry, known as “chemical bread.”It is mainly used to manufacture high-speed cutting steels and other alloy steels and catalysts.

Vanadium battery: Vanadium battery is one of the excellent green and environment-friendly batteries with strong development momentum (manufacturing, use and waste processes do not produce harmful substances). It has a unique battery structure, which can discharge deep and high current density. Charging fast; High specific energy; Low price; The application field is vast

Medical use: Vanadium is a trace element in the human body. The content of vanadium in the human body is about 25mg. Under the condition of pH4~8 in the body fluid, the main form of vanadium is VO3-, namely vanadite ion. The other is the +5 oxidation form VO43-, that is, positive vanadate ion.

Production Method of vanadium powder 

1. Raw Material Preparation:

Start with vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) or vanadium slag as the raw material.

2. Reduction Process:

Reduce vanadium pentoxide using calcium, aluminum, or hydrogen in a thermite reaction or hydrogen reduction furnace:\text{V₂O₅ + 5Ca → 2V + 5CaO}V₂O₅ + 5Ca → 2V + 5CaO

3. Purification:

Refine the reduced vanadium to remove impurities through vacuum distillation or electrolytic refining.

4. Atomization:

Melt the purified vanadium and spray it through a nozzle under high pressure (gas or water atomization) to form fine powder particles.

5. Mechanical Grinding

Grind vanadium ingots or flakes into powder using ball milling or other grinding techniques.

6. Classification:

Sieve or classify the powder to achieve the desired particle size distribution.

7. Packaging:

Store the powder in airtight containers under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) to prevent oxidation.

5 FAQs of  vanadium powder

Q1

What are the main uses of vanadium powder?

Answer: Vanadium powder is mainly used in the steel industry as an alloying element added to steel to improve its strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. In addition, vanadium powder is also used to produce vanadium compounds, such as vanadates, vanadium oxides, etc. These compounds have wide applications in chemistry, electronics, ceramics, and other fields.

Q2

What is the role of vanadium powder in the steel industry?

Answer: In the steel industry, adding vanadium powder as an alloying element to steel can refine the grain structure of the steel and improve its strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. In addition, vanadium can improve the heat resistance of steel, allowing it to maintain good performance even at high temperatures.

Q3

Is vanadium powder harmful to human health?

Answer: Vanadium powder is not directly toxic to the human body, but when handling it, it is important to avoid prolonged inhalation or contact. Long-term exposure to vanadium dust may cause irritation and damage to the respiratory system. Therefore, appropriate protective measures should be taken.

Q4

Is vanadium powder flammable and explosive?

Answer: Vanadium powder itself is not flammable or explosive, but under certain conditions, such as mixing with specific chemicals or being stimulated by high temperature, friction, etc., it may cause fire or explosion. Therefore, when handling vanadium powder, relevant safety operating procedures should be followed to ensure operation in a well-ventilated environment and away from ignition sources and static sparks.

Q5

How to store vanadium powder to ensure its quality?

Answer: To ensure the quality of vanadium powder, it should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, away from ignition sources and flammable materials. The storage container should be well sealed to prevent vanadium powder from reacting with moisture and oxygen in the air. In addition, prolonged exposure to high temperatures or humid environments should be avoided to avoid affecting its performance.

Q6

What is the impact of vanadium powder on the environment?

Answer: Vanadium powder has a relatively small environmental impact, but attention should be paid to avoiding pollution during production and use. For example, discarded vanadium powder must be properly treated to prevent environmental pollution. In addition, vanadium dust generated during the production process may impact air quality, so appropriate measures must be taken to control and treat it.
