Ammoniumvanadaatti

Ammoniumvanadaatti is the common name for ammonium metavanadate, a chemical compound with the formula NH4VO3. It is an inorganic salt formed from ammonium cations and metavanadate anions. This white crystalline solid is soluble in water, particularly in acidic solutions. It is typically produced by reacting vanadium pentoxide with ammonia.

Ammoniumvanadaatti finds application in various industries. It is used as a catalyst in the production of sulfuric acid, specifically in the contact process. It also serves as a source of vanadium for other vanadium compounds and alloys. Historically, it has been employed as a mordant in dyeing and in the manufacture of some glass and ceramic products. In certain contexts, it can be used as an analytical reagent. Due to the toxicity of vanadium compounds, proper handling and disposal procedures are important when working with ammoniumvanadaatti.
