Ammonium Paratungstate Applied in Nanostructured Molybdenum Carbide and Tungsten Carbide

SEM image of WC

Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) and tungsten carbide (WC) have attracted attention for nearly four decades, due to their noble metal-like behavior in heterogeneous catalysis. These materials are catalytically active in reactions such as hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis and isomerization, ammonia synthesis, methanation, methane reforming and water–gas shift. Existing strategies for preparing high surface area carbides frequently produce non-stoichiometric surfaces, containing either residual oxygen or excess carbon which can block the active surface. Thus, an effective method that can remove the surface carbon is necessary.

Chitosan Combined with Ammonium Paratungstate as Anticorrosive Coatings

Image of Chit-APT coating

Chitosan (Chit) is a non-toxic derivative of chitin, namely the β-(1,4)- linked polysaccharide of D-glucosamine. Application of chitosan coatings on substrates by the dip coating technique was proved to be highly effective in corrosion prevention by producing thin layers with controlled characteristics. The transparency of chitosan coatings also constitutes an advantage as it does not change the appearance of the underlying substrate.

Solubility of Ammonium Paratungstate in Aqueous Ammonia after Low Temperature Calcination

SEM image of APT

Ammonium paratungstate (APT), is a prevalent starting material in the production of tungsten oxides, catalysts, tungsten alloys, electrochromic materials and so on. It is produced by crystallization from purified ammonium tungstate solutions in batch and continuous processes. Commonly, repeated crystallization is used as a method of improving the quality of the product.
