Tungsten disulfide is a fine gray crystalline or powder with metallic luster. It belongs to hexagonal crystal system. It has semiconductor and diamagnetic properties, layered structure, easy dissociation, and lubricating properties similar to graphite. It is mainly used as lubricant. Its performance is better than molybdenum disulfide, its friction coefficient is lower and its compressive strength is higher. Equipment used alone in high temperature, high pressure, high speed, high load and in chemical active medium.

Tungsten carbide is the main raw material for the manufacture of cemented carbide products, and its particle size has a decisive influence on the properties of cemented carbide products. The preparation of nano-tungsten carbide has become the main way to improve the strength and toughness of cemented carbide products. Cemented carbide is brittle material. There is a contradiction between its hardness and strength. High hardness leads to low strength, while high strength leads to low hardness.

Transition metal oxides can be used in various fields. Molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide, as two important transition metal oxides, have attracted the attention of scholars and experts in the fields of photocatalysis and gas sensors for a long time. In the past few years, it has been found that the properties of binary molybdenum tungsten oxide (MoxW₁-xO₃) materials can be greatly improved due to the "synergistic effect" of the two elements. Therefore, by changing the composition and structure of materials, we can make this "synergistic effect" play a stronger role.

At present, the main methods for preparing zirconium tungstate are solid phase reaction sintering, sol-gel method, hydrothermal method, co precipitation method, microwave synthesis method, combustion method, laser sintering method, spray drying method, etc. Among them, the preparation cycle of sol gel method is too long to be used. The reaction principle of hydrothermal method is complex and the time is long. The coprecipitation process is cumbersome and difficult to control. The solid phase reaction sintering method has the advantages of simple principle, simple operation and limited conditions. Therefore, at present, solid-state reaction sintering method can rapidly and effectively prepare zirconium tungstate.
