Vanadyl sulfate, VOSO4, is a common inorganic compound of vanadium.This easily delistable blue solid is a common source of vanadium in the laboratory and exhibits a high degree of stability.Its characteristic ion, vanadium oxide root (VO2+), is known as “the most stable diatomic ion.”

Vanadium sulfate is the intermediate product of vanadium extracted from petroleum and the most important commercial source of vanadium.Vanadium sulfate is also a component of some food additives and chemicals.And vanadium sulfate can show the effect of insulin.Used as mordant, catalytic reductant, ceramic and glass colorant.
