Ammonium metavanadate is the inorganic compound with the formula NH4VO3. It is a white salt, although samples are often yellow owing to impurities of V2O5. It is an important intermediate in the purification of vanadium.
AMMONIUM METAVANDATEAmmonium metavanadate is the inorganic compound with the formula NH4VO3. It is a white solid, although samples are often yellow owing to impurities of V2O5. It is an important intermediate in the purification of vanadium.Vanadium is often purified from aqueous extracts of slags and ore by selective precipitation of ammonium metavanadate. The material is then roasted to give vanadium pentoxide:2 NH4VO3 V2O5 + 2 NH3 + H2O
Ammonium metavanadate is used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, in glass production to enhance color, in ceramics for pigmentation, and in the preparation of vanadium compounds for various applications.
Ammonium metavanadate, NH4VO3, is a yellow crystalline solid and a water-soluble inorganic acid that acts as an insulin mimic.[1][2][3] It functions as a catalyst in certain reactions and is known to have toxic effects in certain species.
