Vanadate (VO31-), sodium (1:1)(CAS: 13718-26-8)

Vanadate (VO31-), sodium (1:1) is a sodium salt of vanadate, a negatively charged vanadium oxide ion. It has the chemical formula NaVO3 and appears as a white or slightly yellow crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and has a slightly alkaline taste. It is known for its oxidizing properties and is used in various applications due to its chemical stability and reactivity.

Vanadate (VO31-), sodium (1:1) is primarily used in the production of certain glass and ceramic materials, as a catalyst in organic synthesis, and as a component in various analytical reagents. It also finds applications in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential as a therapeutic agent, particularly in diabetes management.

Vanadate (VO31-), sodium (1:1) is generally considered safe for industrial use, but it should be handled with care. Exposure to high concentrations can cause irritation of the skin and eyes. It is not highly toxic, but ingestion can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling. Storage and use should comply with local safety standards, and the compound should be kept away from heat and direct sunlight.

Vanadate (VO31-), sodium (1:1) should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Store in a tightly sealed container made of acid-resistant materials. Avoid storing in areas with high temperatures or direct heat sources, as this can cause degradation. It is important to keep the compound away from incompatible materials, such as strong acids, which can react with vanadate to produce harmful gases.
