  Vanadium(V) oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Related to this is its ability to catalyse the delivery of oxygen from the air to compounds such as sulfur dioxide, benzene and naphthalene, which is the basis for its industrial use as a catalyst in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride, respectively.
Vanadium(V) oxide is also the main product when vanadium metal is heated with excess oxygen, but this product is contaminated with other lower oxides.
The oxide is heated with scrap iron and aluminium, producing the iron-vanadium alloy along with alumina as a by-product.

Although a metal, it shares with chromium and manganese the property of having valency oxides with acid properties.
In 1831, Sefström of Sweden rediscovered vanadium in a new oxide he found while working with some iron ores and later that same year Friedrich Wöhler confirmed del Rio's earlier work.

 AUFBAU1 [METALS: VANADIUM]
Although the metal is used to manufacture relatively small quantities of 'vanadium' steels that have high tensile strengths, the element's particular importance in industrial chemistry centres on the use of vanadium(V) oxide as a catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide (a key step in the manufacture of sulfuric acid).
