Introduction

Vanadium Vanadium is a soft, shiny, silvery metal which can be found in many different minerals, including some crude oils. Resistant to corrosion, but soluble in nitric, hydrofluoric and concentrated sulfuric acids. Attacked by alkali, forming water soluble vanadates. Acts as either a metal or nonmetal, and forms a variety of complex compounds. Nontoxic as metal.
AEM can provide vanadium products with high quality and competitive prices.
