Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The verification of the Al2O3 -V2O5 phase diagram has proved that at the content of ~8 mol % Al2O3 and ~92 mol % V2O5, the components heated to ~ 640 °C form a eutectic: AlVO4 + V2O5. AlVO4 melts incongruently at 745 °C, releasing the solid α-Al2O3.

Conclusions:
Aluminium vanadium tetraoxide melts incongruently at 745 °C, releasing the solid α-Al2O3.

Description of key information

Aluminium vanadium tetraoxide melts incongruently at 745°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
