Most vanadium comes from South Africa, China and Russia in the form of a slag by-product generated when making iron from magnetite. A rare metal, vanadium is found all over the world but in quantities usually too small to make mining economical.

Shinko Chemical has pioneered processes for extracting vanadium from domestic sources such as fuel oil residue. As a result, we can assure our customers a stable, constant supply of this important resource.

To meet the demands of virtually any industry, Shinko Chemical now supplies a wide variety of vanadium compounds, including vanadium pentoxide.
