The method is disclosed for producing ammonium paratungstate from cemented tungsten carbide which comprises subjecting the cemented tungsten carbide to electrolysis by passing about 0.5 to about 20 volts through an ammoniacal solution selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide-ammonium chloride solution, ammonium hydroxide-ammonium carbonate solution, and ammonium hydroxide-ammonium sulfate solution, wherein platinum and the cemented tungsten carbide serve as the anode and wherein the anode is immersed in the solution, to decompose the cemented tungsten carbide and form a solution of ammonium tungstate from which is crystallized ammonium paratungstate.

The method is disclosed for producing relatively pure ammonium paratungstate from an impure tungsten solution. The method involves first adding hexamethylenetetramine to the tungsten solution and adjusting the pH to from about 1.0 to about 2.0 with a mineral acid to form a first precipitate of a tungsten hexamethylenetetramine product, which is then separated from its mother liquor. The precipitate is then slurried in water and the pH adjusted to from about 7.0 to about 8.5 with ammonia to dissolve the precipitate. The resulting solution is then adjusted to from about 1.0 to about 2.0 with a mineral acid to form a second precipitate of the tungsten hexamethylenetetramine product which is then separated from its mother liquor. The second precipitate is then slurried in a solution of water and sufficient ammonia to form ammonium paratungstate which crystallizes out on evaporation of the slurry. The ammonium paratungstate is then separated from its mother liquor.

To obtain highly purified, lamp grade ammonium paratungstate crystals from any of several different tungsten ores, the ore is reduced to finely divided status and slurried in heated HCl solution to convert tungsten values to WO₃.H₂ O. Recovered tungstic oxide is washed and dissolved in heated aqueous solution of sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide with the pH maintained at about 8 to 8.5 to form soluble sodium tungstate. Sodium hydroxide is added to raise the pH to about 10.5 to 11.5, and magnesium chloride is added in amount sufficient to somewhat neutralize the solution. Sodium hydroxide is added to raise the pH to about 10.5 to 11.5 to precipitate as hydroxide the magnesium and additional metallic impurities. At least one of ammonium sulfide and thioacetamide is and the heated solution is acidified to a pH in the range from about 2 to 3 to precipitate any molybdenum as MoS₃. The tungstate solution is then contacted with an organic, water-immiscible ion exchange liquid in which the active ingredient is an amine salt to extract the tungsten values. Tungsten values are then stripped from the ion exchange liquid with ammonium hydroxide to form ammonium tungstate solution, which in turn is separated. From the ammonium tungstate solution is crystallized highly purified ammonium paratungstate. The process is adaptable to continuous type operation.

Spinning means that your dart rotates (spins) when you throw it. Some players that have noticed this spin are concerned whether this is okay or a bad thing.

I don't think that spin is a bad thing. It is an additional source for errors, as it is an additional movement, but on the other hand spin also adds stability. In my point of view these two things eliminate each other, so there is no use worrying about it. In no case should you try to consciously make your darts spin or consciously try to eliminate spin.

Spinning has nothing to do with darts tuning. It is not determined or influenced by the flight/shaft system. It is determined by your personal throw.
