Vanadium, vanadium and outdated, is a chemical element with the symbol V and atomic number 23 It is a steel-gray, lustrous bluish, very soft in its pure state of transition metal. The metal in the periodic table, together with the heavier niobium, tantalum, and the fifth Dubnium Group or vanadium. The bulk of the vanadium is used as the so-called ferrovanadium in the production of steel. The addition of vanadium in chrome-vanadium steels lead to an increase in toughness and thus to an increased resistance of the steel.
The element has different biological meanings, and is essential for many organisms. It plays a role in the control of phosphorylation of enzymes and is used by bacteria to nitrogen fixation.
The best known compound of vanadium is vanadium (V) oxide, which is used as catalyst for the production of sulfuric acid.
For the first time later vanadium in 1801 by the Spanish mineralogist Andres Manuel del Rio discovered in a Mexican lead ore, later Vanadinite. He named the new element, first because of the many colors of the compounds panchromium, Erythronium later, as the red colored salts on acidification. The discovery del Rio recanted but a short time later, as the first of Alexander von Humboldt and later the French chemist HV Collett-Desotils due to their similarity to chromium compounds claimed in the new element, it would constitute impure chromium.
