Vanadium: Extraction, Manufacturing and Applications offers systematic coverage of the state-of-the-art in research and development of vanadium. Five chapters cover the basic background of vanadium, including extraction, applications, and the development of vanadium in industry and manufacturing, with a focus on industrial Panzhihua in China, which has one of the largest reserves of vanadium in the world. Based on the author's 30+ years of experience in vanadium-based materials, including in industrial development, this book provides a solution for understanding the nature, sourcing, manufacture, and uses of vanadium in high-tech industry. Vanadium is critical to high-tech industry, and is used as a catalyst and as a functional material. It has applications including in high-stress alloys, batteries and supercapacitors, and catalysts. Research on vanadium has accelerated rapidly in scope and depth in recent years. - Covers the different vanadium extraction processes - Describes the configuration of industry relating to vanadium, focusing on products and processes - Details vanadium applications in technology and in relation to particular product categories - Considers the case of vanadium resource shortages, and the industry response - Provides the necessary background to the theory, practice, technology, and manufacture of vanadium in contemporary industry
