Potassium Metavanadate
Description :
Overview of Potassium Metavanadate
Potassium Metavanadate (also referred to as potassium vanadate (also known as potassium trixovanadate) is a white, light green, or off-white crystal powder that is an inorganic vanadium-based compound widely utilized as an ingredient in many vanadium-based industrial processes. It's an insignificant antioxidant and is easily soluble in water.
Chemical Formulation: KO3V or KVO3 Formula for potassium metavanadate KVO3 Molecular weight: 138.04 G/mol. Properties of use: Soluble in water (approximately 28 grams per liter) and is more dense than water (density ~2.84 grams per cubic centimeter). The melting point is around 500 °C. Stable under normal conditions, however, it is harmful to the environment and toxic.
Applications of Potassium Metavanadate
Industrial and Chemical Use
- Used to prevent corrosion and as an anti-scaling agent for water cooling and treatment systems.
- It is widely used in chemical fertilizer manufacturing to provide vanadium for micronutrient formulations.
Dyes, Pigments, and Glass
- Utilized to make inks, dyes, laundry compounds, and pigments
- in the ceramic and glass industries, to color, reduce, or for use as a catalyst precursor
Other Applications
- In electrochemical catalysis, catalytic reactions, and lab reactions
- A related organic synthesis using vanadium catalysts, or esters such as Diethyl Oxalate, within a specific reduction and oxidation process
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Protect yourself with goggles, gloves, and other appropriate attire (a respirator is recommended to avoid dust)
- Avoid prolonged contact with skin, inhalation, contact, or consumption (toxic can cause organ damage when exposed repeatedly)
- Only use in an area that is well ventilated or a fume hood in order to reduce dust from getting into the air.
- Place in sealed containers that are labeled and sealed to keep away from moisture, incompatible materials, and other contaminants.
- Be sure to follow MSDS guidelines and the standard safety procedures (highly hazardous for aquatic life and could cause the release into the environment)
