Nanosize Cesium Tungstate Powder Prepared from Ammonium Paratungstate

Nanosize cesium tungstate powder is widely used in field of transparent insulation thin film such as EVA film, optical filter and so on. And it can also used in laser marking and welding, near infrared light heat treatment drugs.

Cesium tungstate has unique properties in different bands of light as follows:
1. The absorption property is very strong in the near infrared region of the wavelength 800-1100nm;
2. The property of light penetration is so obvious in the visible light region with the wavelength of 380-780nm;
3. Shielding property is very strong in UV light region at the wavelength of 200-380nm.

In order to reduce the preparation cost and the degree of agglomeration, simplify the process and improve the production efficiency, so that nanosize cesium tungstate powder can be more widely used. A new method for preparing nanosize cesium tungstate powder by using ammonium paratungstate, cesium carbonate and methanol as raw materials is proposed.

Specific steps are as follows:
1. Dissolving ammonium paratungstate and cesium carbonate in methanol solution, drying to get powder;
2. Crushing the powder particles obtained from step 1 to obtain tungsten and cesium powders mixed;
3. Placing the powder obtain in step 2 in a sealed reactor with stirring, adding sorbitol, then heated to 350℃ and stirring for 2~8 hours;
4. Separate the products produced in step 3, and washing with alcohol, then drying, and crushing in the air flow mill to get nanosize cesium tungstate powder.
Remark: The air pressure in the crushing chamber is 0.6MPa~l.IMPa, and the rotor speed is set to 1000 revolutions per minute.

Sodium Tungstate and Dioxopromethazine Hydrochloride Influence Factors

There are many aspects of influence factors of sodium tungstate and dioxopromethazine hydrochloride system.
1. The influence of reagent adding order: after polycondensation of tungsten acid radical in acidic solution, the effect of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride is better. 
2. The influence of the medium: in H3PO4 and B-R medium, system resonance light scattering signal obviously enhances, which has the highest sensitivity in H3PO4 medium system.
3. The influence of the concentration of sodium tungstate: as shown in the figure, when sodium tungstate concentration is low, ionic association concentration is small and resonance light scattering intensity of solution is weak. With the increase of concentration of sodium tungstate solution, it is conducive to the formation of the ion association content. Sodium tungstate and dioxopromethazine hydrochloride gradually reach the maximum and increase stability.
4. The influence of temperature: research the effect of three temperatures  0℃, room temperature (25℃) and 50℃ on the system. Results show that the scattering intensity of the three temperature blank solution did not change, but the system was slightly higher than the room temperature at 0 ℃. It shows that low temperature could reduce the dispersion of particles of associating content in solution and benefit ion association reaction so as to generate more ion of associating. At 50℃, the system of resonance light scattering signal basically disappears.  
5. The influence of surfactant: CTMAB and CPB will make tungsten acid radical associate which is not conducive to the formation of ion association content. SDS, SLS, SDBS make the system of the scattering signal almost disappear which is the result of playing the solubilization. PVA generates a certain amount of scattering signal of sodium tungstate solution and reduce the intensity of resonance light scattering system.
6. The influence of water-soluble organic solvent: the addition of ethanol, acetone, will have little impact on blank value. But the system resonance light scattering intensity sharply reduces. And the effect of acetone is better than ethanol.
7. The influence of coexisting substance: common inorganic ions, sugar, protein and amino acid are allowed to exist in high concentration without interference measurement. So the method is still has good selectivity. 

 

Sodium Tungstate and Dioxopromethazine Hydrochloride Spectral Properties

Dioxopromethazine hydrochloride is also called grams of promethazine cough sensitivity and oxygen promethazine. The effect of relieving cough, asthma and ethanolamine draw hemp is stronger, which is equal to codeine. It’s used in the clinical antitussive, expectorant, acute or chronic bronchitis and cough caused by various diseases.
 
Absorption SpectraLight scattering phenomenon is so widespread in light and the particle in the process. It is refers when a beam of light passes the medium in the direction of the incident light in all directions outside, the phenomenon of a kind of optical radiation can be observed. Light scattering phenomenon is widespread in nature. Resonance light scattering technique using resonance light scattering probe mainly organic reagents, inorganic ion probe is less reported. In this paper, based on in phosphoric acid medium, the protonation of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride can form with polycondensation of tungsten acid radical ion association. The system resonance light scattering intensity is enhanced. And the intensity and the concentration of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride are within a certain scope to establish a new method for determination of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride. It’s used in testing dioxopromethazine hydrochloride in drgus.
 
The picture is absorption spectra of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride, sodium tungstate, dioxopromethazine hydrochloride and sodium tungstate system. Dioxopromethazine hydrochloride has two weak absorption bands in ultraviolet band, located at 225 nm and 264 nm, respectively. Sodium tungstate is colorless solution with weak absorption in the uv area. When adding trace of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride, absorbance of sodium tungstate solution increases. But the sensitivity is very low, which is unfavorable for the determination of dioxopromethazine.
 
Resonance light scattering spectra of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride and sodium tungstate interaction show that when dioxopromethazine and sodium tungstate coexist, resonance light scattering signal significantly enhances. And the scattering intensity within a certain range increases in ratio with the increase of the dioxopromethazine hydrochloride concentration. Under the optimum reaction conditions, dioxopromethazine hydrochloride and sodium tungstate react rapidly. After mixing all solution, the resonance light scattering intensity can reach the maximum and basic remain stable in 30 minutes. It can be used in the rapid determination of dioxopromethazine hydrochloride.

CVD Diamond Coated Carbide Cutting Tool Pretreatment—Plasma Etching

Plasma etching is one of processing that can be applied in most of matrix, which including plasma cleaning, plasma activation, plasma coating for some complicate structure. It can not only remove cobalt (Co), but also has decarburization when it used in CVD diamond coated carbide cutting tool, which uses H, O, Ar atom or ion and CO in H2, O2-H2, H2O-H2, CO-H2, Ar-H2 to react with tungsten carbide (WC) and binder phase cobalt (Co) forms CO2, CH4, Co(CO)4, Co(OH)4 and other compounds and Co hydrates with highly volatile. So pure tungsten carbide surface to form a layer of a certain thickness, beginning after the deposition of the diamond layer is carbonized again produce a chemical bond and form new tungsten carbide WC particle.

As a result, in the early stage of diamond deposition, CVD diamond coating between the substrate and the formation of carbide cutting tools tungsten carbide (WC)intermediate layer. It not only can effectively reduce the residual stresses present in the film, but also to some extent, but the barrier of Matrix diamond growth had spread to the deep cobalt heavy surface, and the diamond crystals embedded into the WC grain boundaries, so that the diamond the contact area between the film and the cemented carbide substrate is improved, resulting in "pinning" effect, effectively improving the inter-layer film with the adhesion between the film and the substrate. Plasma etching is a form of dry etching, the principle is exposed to the gas to form a plasma electron region, electricity gas and the resulting release of gas energy electrons to form a plasma or ion, electricity gas when atoms accelerated by an electric field, it will release sufficient strength and surface forces expelled only adhesive material or etched surface. In addition, plasma etching can be specifically divided into reactive plasma (RIE), downstream plasma, direct plasma and so on.

Spectrophotometry Determines Tungsten Trioxide

SpectrophotometrySpectrophotometry is a method of ualitative and quantitative analysis of testing substance the absorbance or emission intensity of in a specific wavelength or range of wavelengths of light .In the quantitative analysis, the first need to a solution for absorption is different wavelengths of light (absorption spectrum), which determines the maximum absorption wavelength, then this wavelength of light can be as the light source, a series of known concentrations measured absorbance c solution A, making A ~ B curve. Due to the large number of new synthetic coloring agents, making the element sensitivity of the assay in the progress, especially applied research related to multicomponent complex and various surface active agents, in which many molar extinction coefficients of elements from the original raises to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Spectrophotometric method is widely used in the detection of tungsten trioxide in geological rock minerals. In the experiment, the spectrophotometric instrument is generally 721. Reagents normally are solid sodium peroxide, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid solution. In hydrochloric acid (HCL) medium, using thiocyanate as the reducing agent, putting it in a high temperature of about 700 ℃ for melting,, and after cooling into 250ml beaker of hot water, after boiling and cooling, diluting into 100ml bottles, mixing to a certain scale. 20g of sodium hydroxide solution is added to HCL, after adding 4ml250g / LKSCN solution continue mixing and shaking, then adding 20ml hydrochloric acid, diluting with water to a certain moment, after ten minutes, we can have absorbance measurements. By spectrophotometry, generating a stable yellow-green complex with a tungsten content of the solution is clear reference solution; the absorbance of the solution is measured at a wavelength of 400nm.

tungsten electrode

The tip color of cerium tungsten electrode is gray. It has a non-radiation, low melting rate, long welding life, good arc resistance and other good properties. Cerium tungsten electrodes at low current arc has good performance, mainly used in low-current DC welding.
 
The tip colors of lanthanum tungsten electrodes according to doping amount different are different, when lanthanum oxide (La2O3) doping amount is 0.80%~1.20%, tip color is black. When doping amount is 1.30%~1.70%, tip color is golden yellow. When doping amount is 1.80%~2.20%, tip color is the sky blue. It has good mechanical cutting performance, creep resistance, high ductility high recrystallization temperature and other good performance. Lanthanum tungsten electrodes is an internationally popular electrode material.
 
Tip color of thorium tungsten electrode is also depending on the doping amount of thorium oxide. And the generally tip colors of thorium tungsten electrodes are yellow (0.90 to 1.20%), red (1.8 to 2.2%), purple (2.80 ~ 3.20%) and orange (3.80 ~ 4.20%).

Tungsten Electrode

Tungsten electrode having good electron emission ability, high melting point, high elastic modulus, low vapor pressure, low temperature creep, high strength, resistance to burning, high recrystallization temperature and other good performance is often used as high thermal electron emission materials. Tungsten electrode is mainly used in the inert gas welding, plasma cutting, spraying and smelting and it is essential materials for machinery, shipbuilding, aerospace, construction, nuclear power, metallurgy and other fields. Tungsten electrode is not used for direct soldering, and are widely used in AC welding. It is generally used for welding aluminum and magnesium alloy, providing a good stable arc sine wave in the welding process, so it is widely used in various fields specific welding applications.
 
However, due to tungsten electrode has a very high electron work function, thus arcing and maintaining the stability of the arc is difficult. In addition, it has low emission efficiency. Besides,  at a high temperature it is easy recrystallization to form equiaxed grain structure leads to electrodes rattle, which greatly limits the use of tungsten electrodes.
 
In order to overcome these shortcomings, after study found, adding rare earth oxides having low electron into tungsten-base electrode can improve the recrystallization temperature of the tungsten electrodes and can activate electron emission as well, so that the tungsten electrode welding performance can be improved, expanded the application fields of the alloy. Adding rare earth oxides of tungsten-based alloy has better arcing performance, higher stability of the arc column, and electrode burning rate becomes smaller. Currently, common rare earth oxide additives are cerium oxide, lanthanum oxide, zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide, thorium oxide and so on. 
 
With the development of economy and technology, the world’s tungsten electrode consumption reached 1,600 tons per year or more. Chinese annual output of tungsten electrodes are gradually growing every year, accounting for 3/4 of the world's annual production of tungsten electrodes.

Asynchronous flotation of Scheelite and Wolframite Mixture Ore

Asynchronous flotation, is using the differences between the same kind and heterogeneous ores floatability and floating rate in the flotation process. Therefore, the ore flotation flow can be artificially adjusted.
 
The first step is based on wolframite flotation, most available fast floating wolframite and partially floating scheelite. Depend on the circumstances to increase the number of flotation of wolframite operations, try to clean out wolframite, and then merge wolframite of each job to get the total wolframite concentrate.
 
The second step is scheelite flotation, use Pb2+ to activate most difficult floated scheelite and scheelite concentrate is obtained by flotation. Thus, the recovery of scheelite and wolframite mixture ore goes maximize at the respective suitable conditions, to ensure maximum total recovery of tungsten ores. The follow-up scheelite and wolframite mixture ore concentrate can be further separated by flotation or strong magnetic separation, respectively achieved wolframite concentrate and scheelite concentrate. Mixed concentrate can also be achieved.
 
Test conditions: use citric acid to restrain fluorite and some scheelite so that wolframite firstly selected, then add lead nitrate to activate inhibited scheelite and wolframite remaining, PH value of 9.5, float scheelite with benzohydroxamic acid as a collector.
After the optimization, with the extension of flotation time, the flotation rate of wolframite gradually decreased, floating rate of scheelite and fluorite is unchanged, floating rate of wolframite is much faster than scheelite in pre-flotation, and floating rates of wolframite and scheelite are very close in later flotation. The recovery difference of scheelite and wolframite mixture ore remained at around 70%.

Detinning Process of APT Production- Additives in Alkali Decomposition

Ammonium paratungstate is produced by separating tungsten from its ore. Once the ammonium paratungstate is prepared, it is heated to its decomposition temperature, 600 °C. Left over is WO3, tungsten(VI) oxide. From there, the oxide is heated in an atmosphere of hydrogen, reducing the tungsten to elemental powder, leaving behind water vapor. From there, the tungsten powder can be fused into any number of things, from wire to bars to other shapes.
 
Adding Na3PO4 in alkali decomposition process is common for the impurities in calcium (Ca) in  tungsten concentrates, which makes it as insoluble Ca3 (PO4) 2 go into the leach residue, thereby avoiding its combination with WO4- and formation of CaWO4 precipitate remaining in the slag, to improve the leaching rate of tungsten. 
 
In wolframite concentrate leaching process, impurities Sn, Si, P, As, also have a certain amount of leaching. In alkaline solution, they exist as SnO3 2-, SiO3 2-, HPO4 2-, HAsO4 2- and other forms, these ions can form insoluble compounds with Ca2 + and settle down. Thus, under certain conditions (theoretical amount of base in an amount of 170 to 190, a temperature of 160 ~ 170 ℃), without or with a small mount of Na3PO4 (even add some calcium compounds such as lime), calcium and the reaction with these anions can be taken great advantage, to reduce the tin content of sodium tungstate solution. Some minerals take other measures to reduce the amount of sodium phosphate, tin leaching rate can be reduced by 25% to 40%.
 
The solubility product of CaWO4 is small, so some people think it controversial to inhibit impurities with calcium compound as additives.
