Basics
- Element with the atomic number of 23
- Easily mined, but is also a common waste product
- It is quite (but not extremely) common in seawater, may be more easily extracted after removal of sodium chloride and magnesium, and/or concentration via evaporation ponds
Used For
- Metallurgical Alloys
- Sulfuric Acid Production (Vanadium(V) oxide is used as a catalyst)
- Maleic anhydride Production (Vanadium(V) oxide is used as a catalyst)
- Flow Batteries (vanadium redox flow battery)
- Glass + Ceramics
- Neutron Absorbant (Due to its isotopes which decay quite quickly to titanium (See Here) )
