Vanadium
Hi,
do you guys know of any source of Vanadium ?
I am asking about commonly available items.
Vanadium steel is very poor source with 0.15%-0.25% content.
Please do not reply that I can buy pure V on ebay or somewhere else.

Vanadium(V) oxide is available from pottery supplies. That fact makes it possible for my college to do a lab with the oxidation states of vanadium,
as buying reagent grade vanadium compounds is financially out of our budget.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

I second that. V2O5 isn’t the most convenient source for doing low valence vanadium chemistry, and certainly isn’t a
practical starting point for vanadium metal, but it is the only OTC source I know of if you’re excluding eBay and other online sellers.

What about Ferrovanad? I have one that's 80% Vanadium! I wonder how to convert it into a solution as easily as possible? I don't think the acid route
is very promising unless I want to work with HF...
There is still a mixture of HCl with HNO3, I don't remember its English name, in our country it is called "Lučavka Královská";-)

In English it’s aqua regia, which is Latin for “royal water”.

In the Czech language it means something like Royal Examiner, Royal Distinguisher. Thanks for the explanation, I'll remember it now, I know a bit of
Latin from University, but I've forgotten most of it.
