Vanadates

Peter A. Williams

    Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

    Abstract

    Naturally occurring vanadate(V) minerals are described here, together with the environments in which they are found. Attention is drawn to the existence of polyvanadates as well as to normal vanadates. In the latter, extensive solid solution involving arsenate and phosphate is evident. The chemistry of polymerisation of vanadate in acidic solution is well understood and is reflected in many examples in the mineral kingdom.
