Sixteen ram lambs were fed 0, 50 or 200 ppm supplemental vanadium daily as NH4VO3 for 90 d and coccygeal vertebrae were sampled at 0, 15, 30, 6 0 a n d 90 d after the imposition of dietary treatments. Vertebral vanadium content was elevated (P<.05) after exposure to 200 ppm added vanadium in the diet for 15 d, but nonsignificant increases occurred thereafter. Increasing dietary vanadium increas...

Various potential biomarkers were sampled for vanadium every 3-4 months from Bos indicus beef cattle farmed extensively immediately adjacent (high exposure (HE) group) and two km away (low exposure (LE) group) from a vanadium processing plant, respectively. Vanadium intake (mg vanadium kg(-1) bwt d(-1)) was modelled using environmental and physiological data as inputs. The vanadium intake range...

The uses a cell fed from the positive tank. reduces concentration of V(V) ions in catholyte. multi-physical numerical model used to control and optimize process. effectiveness has been tested validated on real VRFB. new proposed that restores battery energy capacity Vanadium Redox Flow Battery, by counterac...

Vanadium K-edge X-ray-absorption spectra were collected for samples of thionine-oxidized, super-reduced (during enzyme turnover) and dithionite-reduced VFe-protein of the vanadium nitrogenase of Azotobacter chroococcum (Acl*). Both the e.x.a.f.s and the x.a.n.e.s. (X-ray-absorption near-edge structure) are consistent with the vanadium being present as part of a VFeS cluster; the environment of ...

Ž . The environmental impact of both the vanadium redox battery vanadium battery and the lead-acid battery for use in stationary applications has been evaluated using a life cycle assessment approach. In this study, the calculated environmental impact was lower for the vanadium battery than for the lead-acid one. The net energy storage efficiency of the vanadium battery was greater due to lower...

Solid-phase spectrophotometry has been applied to analysis for trace amounts of vanadium. Vanadium was sorbed in a styrene-divinylbenzene-type anion-exchanger Dowex 1-X8 as a vanadium-4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol complex. Resin phase absorbances at 562 and 800 nm were measured directly which allowed the determination of vanadium in the range of 0.1-2.4 ng/ml with a RSD of 1.5%. The method has bee...

Biochemical and haematological profiles of workers exposed to vanadium were compared with those of non-exposed age matched subjects. A significantly positive and dose related correlation between serum vanadium and zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) was observed. Normal lead concentrations excluded this heavy metal as a possible cause. Inhibition of the reduction of Fe to Fe++ by vanadium is discussed as...

Lithium-based conducting glasses are promising candidates for electrolyte materials of thin-film batteries because they exhibit isotropic ionic conductivity. However, at room temperature most of such conducting glasses exhibit relatively low ionic conductivity values, in the range 10 to 10 S/m. In order to increase the conductivity, some specific additives have been used, one of them being vana...
