Comparing APT Hydrates and APT Decahydrate

Ammonium paratungstate hydrates (hereinafter referred to as APTs) are known intermediates for producing tungsten metal, tungsten-containing catalysts or hard materials based on tungsten, for example tungsten carbides.

A process for the continuous preparation of ammonium paratungstate hydrate directly in the reextraction of a tungsten-laden organic phase with an ammonia-containing aqueous solution in a mixer-settler apparatus, which comprises carrying out the reextraction at an NH3:W molar ratio of from 0.83 to 1.30, and a volume feed ratio of the tungsten-laden organic phase to the ammonia-containing aqueous solution of from 5 to 25. Directing ammonium paratungstate decahydrate containing at least 75% of crystals having a length of at least 200 μm and having a ratio of length to width of less than 4.5:1.
