The Applications of Ammonium Paratungstate

Ammonium paratungstate is a very desirable form of tungsten for many industrial applications. Much effort has been expended by industry in order to arrive at economical methods of producin this product. Tungsten is derived primarily ll'QIl'l scheelite ore which is substantially calcium tungstate. This is normally treated by dissolution under pressure in a sodium carbonate solution. In this manner an aqueous solution of sodium tungstate is formed which may be used as a starting point for the preparation of ammonium paratungstate. it will be obvious that this sodium paratungstate solution contains not only tungsten values but also impurities such as sodium carbonate, sodium molybdate, silica, sodium fluoride, phosphorous, and molybdenum. Of these contaminants, molybdenum is one of the most difficult to control. At the present time a complex multi-step process is needed for producing ammonium paratungstate from such industrial solutions while substantially avoiding serious contermination of the product. A large number of pH changes are required which entail th use of large quantities of various acids and alkali Even with this complex procedure, however, impurities are almost always present in the final product.

Gas Sensing Response Principle of WO3-based Gas Sensors (II)

The sensitivity (S) could be defined as the ratio between the respective variation of resistance in the air (ΔRair) and in the target gases (ΔRgas) according to
 
S = ΔRair / ΔRgas
 
ΔR represents the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the resistance during one complete period of aerating cycling. However, we prefer to express the sensitivity with a more simple calculation route like this
 
S = Rgas / Rair
or S = Rair / Rgas
 
Rair and Rgas are the resistance of sensor in dry air and target gases, respectively. Usually, in oxidizing atmosphere, the oxide surface is covered by negatively charged oxygen adsorbate and the adjacent space charge region is electron-depleted: the oxide layer presents therefore a high resistance (Rgas>Rair). Under reducing conditions, the oxygen adsorbate is removed by the reaction with reducing gas species and the electrons are re-injected into the space charge layers: as a result, the oxide layer resistance decreases (Rgas<Rair).  Besides, the voltage change of oxide may be used to illuminate the gas sensitivity at times. Therefore, the change of resistance, conductivity or voltage could be used as the parameters to scale the sensitivity.
 
In addition, the response time is often defined as the time required for the conductance to reach 90% of the equilibrium value after the test gas is injected, and the recovery time is the time necessary for the sensor to attain a conductance 10% above the original value in air.

Ammonium Paratungstate is Basic Material

Ammonium Paratungstate (NH4)[H2W12O42].4H2O is the most important precursor for the majority of tungsten products. Exceptions are products of melting metallurgy and Menstrum WC produced directly from ore concentrates.

All other intermediates such as tungsten trioxide, tungsten blue oxide, tungstic acid and ammonium metatungstate can be derived from APT, either by thermal decomposition or chemical conversion.APT is a white crystallized powder having average crystal size between 30 and 100 µm. Especially crucial for the quality is the purity. Typical levels of todays commercial APT are (upper limits in µg/g):Al 1-7, As 5-10, Bi 0.5-1, Ca 1-10, Co 1-10, Cr 1-10, Cu 1-3, Fe 3-10, K 2-10, Mg 1-7, Mn 1-10, Mo 5-30, Na 5-10, Ni 1-7, P 5-7, Pb 1-5, S 5-7, Si 1-10, Sn 1-10, Ti 3-10, and U 3-10. APT is packaged in polyethylene-lined drums or woven bags up to 1 ton.

Gas Sensing Response Principle of WO3-based Gas Sensors (I)

The WO3-based gas sensors operate on the principle that the sensor’s resistance or conductivity changes in the presence of target gases. When the gas sensing devices exposure under target gases, the gas molecules are adsorbed on the surface of WO3 and electron transfer occurs between WO3 and the adsorbent. As a result, a depletion or accumulation of charges occurs on the surface. Following that variation of surface potential barrier induces a change in the resistivity or conductivity. Thus, this change suggests that WO3 produces response to the target gases.
 
It is common to evaluate gas sensing characteristics by the parameters like sensitivity, response time, recover time, gas concentration and working temperature. The ideal sensor materials should be of high sensitivity to target gases, short response and recover time, low gas concentration and working temperature.

Ammonium Paratungstate is Synthesis

When concentrating an ammoniacal solution of tungstic acid (i.e. hydrous WO3), the product obtained is ammonium paratungstate. Below 50 C, the hexahydrate is formed, whereas when the temperature of the solution is above 50 °C, the pentahydrate or heptahydrate is formed. The former crystallizes as triclinic plates or prisms, whereas the latter as pseudorhombic needles.If a calcined WO3 is used, refluxing the ammonia solution is advisable to speed up the dissolution of the oxide.

Ammonium paratungstate is a white, crystalline powder with a very high degree ofchemical purity. It is used as a universal intermediate product for a variety of applications such as manufacturing tungsten oxides and tungsten metal powder, tungstic acid, ammonium paratungstate and organometallic components as well as in catalysis and fine chemistry.

Ammonium Paratungstate Containing Two Hydrogen Atoms

In more recent literature, the anion in (NH4)10(W12O41)·5H2O has been shown to be [H2W12O42]10−, containing two hydrogen atoms, keeping two hydrogen atoms inside the cage. The tungsten-oxygen cage, that is the heart of the anion requires 42 oxygen molecules. The correct formula notation for ammonium paratungstate is (NH4)10[H2W12O42]·4H2O. The [H2W12O42]10−ion is known as the paratungstate ion, as opposed to the paratungstate ion, that has the formula [W7O24]6−, similar to the paramolybdate ion. The existence of the paratungstate A ion, could not be confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, however.

Before about 1930, there has been some dispute about the exact composition of the salt, and both (NH4)10W12O41 and (NH4)6W7O24 were proposed. O.W. Gibbs remarked about this:

The alkali tungstates are numerous and unusually complex. Salts of essentially different formulae approach so closely in percentage composition, that the differences lie very near the unavoidable errors of analyses. The analyses are hardly sufficiently close to decide the question upon purely analytical grounds.

Introducing Ammonium Paratungstate

Ammonium paratungstate(APT) is a white crystalline salt of ammonium and tungsten, with the chemical formula (NH4)10(H2W12O42)•4H2O.
Ammonium paratungstate is produced 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.
