    Ammonium Metavanadate: Properties, Applications, and Industrial Significance
    Board » General Discussion
    Ammonium metavanadate (NH₄VO₃) is a white to yellow crystalline powder widely recognized for its utility in both laboratory research and industrial applications. As a vanadium-based compound, it holds significant importance in fields such as metallurgy, catalysis, pigment production, and chemical synthesis. It is considered a vital intermediate in the extraction and refining of vanadium from ores.

    Chemical Properties

    Ammonium metavanadate is a salt composed of ammonium and metavanadate ions. It is typically soluble in water, producing an acidic solution. Its molecular weight is approximately 116.98 g/mol, and it decomposes upon heating to produce vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅), ammonia, and water vapor. This decomposition behavior makes it a convenient precursor for producing vanadium compounds.

    Industrial Applications

    One of the primary uses of ammonium metavanadate is in the production of high-purity vanadium pentoxide, a critical material in manufacturing vanadium-based catalysts and alloys. In the steel industry, vanadium alloys are valued for their strength and corrosion resistance, especially in tools, pipelines, and aircraft parts.

    The compound is also instrumental in producing catalysts for oxidation and desulfurization reactions in the petrochemical industry. It helps improve the efficiency of refining processes and reduces harmful emissions by facilitating cleaner fuel production.

    Role in Pigment and Ceramics

    In the ceramics and glass industries, ammonium metavanadate is used to introduce vanadium-based colorants. These pigments are prized for their vibrant yellow, green, and blue hues, depending on the oxidation state and firing conditions. The compound also serves in the preparation of vanadium-based glazes and coatings.

    Laboratory and Research Use

    In analytical chemistry and academic laboratories, ammonium metavanadate functions as a reagent for qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is used in redox titrations and for detecting specific organic and inorganic substances. Due to its strong oxidizing nature, it is also utilized in research exploring vanadium’s biochemical and catalytic properties.

    Safety and Handling

    As with many vanadium compounds, ammonium metavanadate can be toxic if ingested or inhaled in large amounts. Prolonged exposure may cause respiratory and skin irritation. Proper protective equipment and ventilation are essential during its handling and storage.

    Ammonium metavanadate is a versatile and valuable compound with broad industrial and scientific applications. Its role as a precursor to vanadium-based materials underscores its importance in metallurgy, catalysis, and material sciences, making it a key component in advancing modern technologies.

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
