Vanadium pentoxide mainly used as catalyst in sulphuric acid, maleic anhydride and ceramics industry, is a pollutant watering redistributed around the environment. Research on biological influence of vanadium pentoxide has gained major importance because it exerts toxic effects on a wide variety of biological systems. In this work we intent to evaluate the effects of vanadium pentoxide ranging ...

Titania supported vanadomolybdophosphoric acid (VMPA) catalysts with vanadium in different positions, incorporated into the molybdophosphoric acid structure by substituting for molybdenum and cation exchanged on the molybdophosphoric acid surface, were synthesized. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, TPR, XPS, and ESR techniques. The FT-IR and Raman spectral anal...

an isolate from polluted soil identified as aspergillus sp. ms-100 was able to consume vanadium oxide octaethyl porphyrin as a model for protoporphyrins in crude oil. the isolate degrades about 55% of vanadium oxide octaethyl porphyrin (vooep) under optimum conditions during 7 days. the release of more than 0.96 mgl-1 of free vanadium into the aqueous phase was confirmed using atomic absorption...

VANADIUM COMPOUNDS are used in dye, ink, and glass manufacture, as an alloy component in the steel industry, and as a catalyst in the production of sulfuric acid. Toxic exposures have been reported in the extraction of vanadium from ores and residues (1-5) and in the cleaning of burners fired with vanadium-bearing oil (6-8). The outstanding symptom associated with excessive inhalation of vanadi...

The vanadium-based catalyst, acts as a homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of sulfides with 30% aqueous H2O2. Vanadium-based catalyst was successfully used as the oxygen source for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides for the first time. The sulfoxides were obtained in a good way to high yields without any detectable over-oxidation to sulfones under normal condi...

In this study, a graphene-vanadium carbonitride (G-V(C, N)) hybrid is reported as a novel support for the Pt catalyst in methanol oxidation. The catalytic activity of the Pt/G-V(C, N) hybrid for methanol oxidation is greatly enhanced compared with that of a commercial Pt/C catalyst with carbon black as the catalyst support. The outstanding catalytic activity of the Pt/G-V(C, N) catalyst suggest...

A vanadium-catalyzed method for the oxidative kinetic resolution of alpha-hydroxyesters, using oxygen as the terminal oxidant, is described. The catalyst is generated in situ from vanadium(V) tri-iso-propoxyoxide in combination with a tridentate ligand derived from 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde and (S)-tert-leucinol. The reaction allows for the enantioselective synthesis of both aromatic and...

The present research investigated the sol–gel preparation, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of PZT films doped with 5 mol% vanadium oxide. Stable PZTV sols can be readily formed, and homogeneous, micrometer thick and pinhole-free PZTV films were obtained by using spin coating followed with rapid annealing. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that no parasitic or secondary phases were...
