Production of Vanadium Pentoxide in Russia

Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) also known as vanadium (V) oxide is regarded as the most stable vanadium compound. The property of V₂O₅ to lose oxygen while heating and, thus, to catalyse a big number of chemical reactions is widely used. In Russia, V₂O₅ is commercially produced by two enterprises: Evraz Vanady Tula is the largest European producer of vanadium pentoxide, ferrovanadium-50 and ferrovanadium-80 and Chusovoy Metallurgical Works JSC. The first turned out 7,196 tonnes of vanadium in the form of vanadium pentoxide in 2012. The present article highlights precise data about Russian V₂O₅ manufacturing.
