Calcium Tungstate

Calcium tungstate picture

From a chemical composition perspective, unlike sodium tungstate (Na₂WO₄) and potassium tungstate (K₂WO₄), where the cations (Na⁺ and K⁺) are alkali metals, the cation in calcium tungstate (Ca²⁺) is an alkaline earth metal. This leads to slight differences in structure, physicochemical properties, production processes, and applications. Note: Sodium and potassium are both alkali metal elements.
