Documented Uses

• Vanadium has been measured in fuel oil at 250 to 400 ppm and in Bessemer slag at 10 to 15% of the weight of the total ash. [ACGIH] Flu ash from oil burning furnaces may contain more than 50% vanadium pentoxide; [ILO Encyclo: Vanadium] Vanadium exposure can also occur in workers cleaning coal furnaces, mining, and producing ferrovanadium. Vanadium is used as a polymer catalyst, dye mordant, and ceramic colorant. [LaDou, p. 481]
