Sodium metavanadate

Sodium metavanadate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaVO3.

Sodium metavanadate is a common precursor to other vanadates.

At low pH it converts to sodium decavanadate.

[2] Sodium metavanadate occurs as two minor minerals, metamunirite (anhydrous) and a dihydrate, munirite.

Both are very rare, metamunirite is now known only from vanadium- and uranium-bearing sandstone formations of central-western USA and munirite from Pakistan and South Africa.
