A process for stabilizing vanadium tetrachloride and a stabilized vanadium tetrachloride composition.

摘要

The stability of vanadium tetrachloride is improved by the addition of phosphorus halides such as phosphorus trichloride. Preferably, the vanadium tetrachloride is prepared by the reductive chlorination of vanadium oxychloride in the presence of activated carbon having a sulphur content less than 1% by weight.
