| Facts on Vanadium |
Vanadium is an essential catalyst in the Contact Process used to manufacturer sulfuric acid.
Vanadium occurs naturally in about 65 different minerals and in fossil fuel deposits.
Vanadium is found in many organisms, and is used by some life forms as an active center of enzymes.
The first large scale industrial use of vanadium in steels was found in the chassis of the Ford Model T.
Compounds of vanadium are relatively electron-poor.
