Raw Material for Sodium Metavanadate Production
According to the Sodium Metavanadate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Metavanadate include (Vanadium-Bearing Ores)-Sodium Hydroxide- Sodium Chloride.
Production Process of Sodium Metavanadate
The extensive Sodium Metavanadate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Vanadium-Bearing Ores, Sodium Hydroxide, and Sodium Chloride: The production process for sodium metavanadate involves a salt-roast process. In this process, vanadium-bearing ores are mixed with sodium chloride and roasted at high temperatures to form water-soluble Sodium Metavanadate compounds. The reaction involves the oxidation of sodium chloride by oxygen or water vapor, which leads to the formation of sodium metavanadate.
Sodium metavanadate has a molecular formula of NaVO3 and a molecular weight of 121.93 g/mol. It appears as colorless to yellow crystals or a cream-colored solid, with a melting point of 630 degree Celsius and a density of around 3.241 g/cm³. It is highly soluble in water and is non-combustible. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor, in the production of vanadium alloys, and as a precursor to other vanadates. It converts to sodium decavanadate at low pH. It is toxic and requires careful handling. It is hazardous if ingested, inhaled, or comes into contact with the skin or eyes.
