It is a hard, silvery-grey, malleable transition metal. The elemental metal is rarely found in nature and is electrically conductive and thermally insulating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Found in: <\/strong>Vanadium occurs naturally in about 65 minerals and in fossil fuel deposits. It is recovered as a by-product from the slag collected from the processing of vanadiferous magnetite ores (iron ore).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uses of Vanadium:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Vanadium is mainly used to produce specialty steel alloys such as high-speed tool steels, and some aluminum alloys.<\/li>\n<li>Vanadium alloys are used in nuclear reactors because of vanadium&#8217;s low neutron-absorbing properties<\/li>\n<li>Vanadium pentoxide is used as a catalyst for the production of sulfuric acid.<\/li>\n<li>The vanadium redox battery for energy storage may be an important application in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Large amounts of vanadium ions are found in a few organisms, possibly as a toxin. Particularly in the ocean, vanadium is used by some life forms as an active center of enzymes, such as the vanadium Bromo peroxidase of some ocean algae.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Largest Deposits: <\/strong>The largest deposits of vanadium of the world are in China, followed by Russia and South Africa. China, which produces 57% of the world\u2019s vanadium consumed 44% of the metal in 2017.<\/li>\n<li><strong>India: <\/strong>India is a significant consumer of vanadium, but is not a primary producer of the strategic metal. India consumed 4% of about 84,000 tonnes of vanadium produced across the globe in 2017.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanadium in Arunachal Pradesh: <\/strong>Vanadium found in Arunachal Pradesh is geologically similar to the stone coal vanadium deposits of China hosted in carbonaceous shale. This high vanadium content is associated with graphite, with a fixed carbon content of up to 16%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/national\/other-states\/arunachal-now-on-indias-vanadium-map\/article33544369.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Article Source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News: Geological Survey of India(GSI) has found concentrations of vanadium in the palaeo-proterozoic carbonaceous phyllite rocks in the Depo and Tamang areas of Papum Pare district in Arunachal Pradesh.
