Abstract: Vanadium mullite had been surprisingly observed in the phase transition of kaolin in the presence 1%-5% vanadium at about 700 ℃,and quite a pure vanadium mullite could be obtained through the process of acid & base leaching reaction and separation. In addition, unit cell parameters of various mullites were especially determined by XRD and the unit cell volume of vanadium mullite formed at a low temperature was found to be greater than that of the common mullite, which could be deduced that vanadium incorporated into the mullite framework. Furthermore, the reaction process of vanadium mullite formation could be expressed as low melting vanadium kaolin eutectic transition.

Key words: Kaolin, Vanadium, Mullite, Unit cell volume, Eutectic
