vanadium pentoxide
Sulfuric acid catalyst
Vanadium pentoxide is a yellow to red crystalline compound, the most important oxide of the element vanadium.
It serves primarily as an industrial catalyst, particularly in the production of sulfuric acid and in oxidation reactions.
The compound is also used in manufacturing ceramics, glass, and certain types of batteries.
Vanadium pentoxide is toxic and can cause respiratory irritation with prolonged exposure.
