Niobium pentoxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Nb 2 O 5. A colorless, insoluble, and fairly unreactive solid, it is the most widespread precursor for other compounds and materials containing niobium. It is predominantly used in alloying, with other specialized applications in capacitors, optical glasses, and the production of ...
Niobium oxide, archaically called columbium oxide, [1] may refer to: Niobium monoxide (niobium(II) oxide), NbO; Niobium dioxide (niobium(IV) oxide), NbO 2; Niobium pentoxide (niobium(V) oxide), Nb 2 O 5; In addition to the above, other distinct oxides exist general formula Nb 3n+1 O 8n−2 where n ranges from 5 - 8 inclusive, e.g. Nb 8 O 19 (Nb ...
The niobate can be obtained by reacting niobium pentoxide with the corresponding oxide, hydroxide or carbonate. [1] For example, reacting lithium carbonate with niobium pentoxide would obtain lithium niobate: [2] Li 2 CO 3 + Nb 2 O 5 → 2 LiNbO 3 + CO 2 ↑. Cobalt metaniobate can be obtained by heating a mixture of cobalt monoxide and niobium ...
The aluminothermic reaction is used for the production of several ferroalloys, for example ferroniobium from niobium pentoxide and ferrovanadium from iron, vanadium(V) oxide, and aluminium. [1] [2] The process begins with the reduction of the oxide by the aluminium: 3 V 2 O 5 + 10 Al → 5 Al 2 O 3 + 6 V
Niobium(V) can form complexes with hydroxy acids, as well as oxalic acid. The salt formed is more complex than tartaric acid for niobium (as opposed to tantalum). [3] NH 4 [NbO(C 2 O 4) 2 (H 2 O) 2]·3H 2 O starts to lose water at 125°C, and at 630°C, it fully decomposes, forming a compound known as niobium pentoxide; [4] Heating this complex and sodium citrate at 650°C can form sodium ...
Phosphorus pentoxide is a more complex molecular oxide with a deceptive name, the real formula being P 4 O 10. Tetroxides are rare, with a few more common examples being ruthenium tetroxide, osmium tetroxide, and xenon tetroxide. [2]
A friend of mine recently got a tripod cat, who had lost one of his hind legs in a car accident. Honestly, you would never know the difference.
Ferroniobium is an important iron-niobium alloy, with a niobium content of 60-70%. [1] It is the main source for niobium alloying of HSLA steel and covers more than 80% of the worldwide niobium production. The niobium is mined from pyrochlore deposits and is subsequently transformed into the niobium pentoxide Nb 2 O 5.
