Ion-Exchange Method Determines Tungsten Trioxide Content

It is often difficult to achieve mutual separation because tungsten and molybdenum ionic radius close to the atomic structure of tungsten and molybdenum, and they are similar to chemical properties in minerals. There area many methods of separation: precipitation, extraction, ion exchange method and so on. These methods of separation are to smelt molybdenum tungsten and molybdenum. Among them, the precipitation method is the use of the separation of tungsten and molybdenum tungsten acid, its solubility in water and hydrochloric acid is far less thanthat in molybdic acid. Molybdic acid increases as the temperature rises, the solubility of this nature can not be completely removed.

ion-exchange methodIon-exchange method is a method of separation in the use of ion exchanging in the exchangeable groups in the solution of different ion-exchange capacity of ions. Two common methods are water softening and deionization method. Water softening is a lowering water hardness pre-treatment program, which is mainly used before reversing osmosis (RO) process.Tenderizer is way that a sodium ion exchanges two calcium ions or magnesium ions to soften water in spherical resin. The key of ion-exchange method is to choose the suitable ion exchangers, adsorption and elution conditions.

Colorimetry Determines Tungsten Trioxide in Tungsten Concentrate

ColorimetryColorimetry method is based on the color reaction to form colored compound, it is measured by comparing the colored substance solution or color depth to determine the content of the component. Colorimetry is an analysis of the color reaction of the basic requirements: the reaction should have a high sensitivity and selectivity, consisting of colored compound produced by the reaction that is constant and stable, it is the larger color difference and color agents. Selecting the appropriate color reaction and controlling the appropriate reaction conditions, which is the key to colorimetry analysis.

There are two commonly colorimetry: visual colorimetry and photoelectric colorimetry, visual colorimetry method is a commonly standard method, which uses different amounts of analyte standard solution in the exact same set of colorimetry tube. The sample solution is also the color under identical conditions, and the standard color gamut is visually identified, the amount of the standard solution can be contained, calculating and determining the content of the sample analytes.

The high levels of tungsten trioxide is determined generally by the use of photoelectric colorimetry, according to the situation of tungsten concentrate, which is based on selecting the visual colorimetry, and acidity, potassium thiocyanate, etc. The test of amount of titanium trichloride conditions is that weighing accurately 0.500 g sample of 2 g of sodium hydroxide flux of iron crucible, placing in a muffle furnace, the temperature is gradually raised to 85 ℃, heating it 25 to 30 minutes, removing to a pre-melted into a 300 ml beaker , heating the water to about 100 ml, which is immediately placed on a hot plate 2 a boil for 5 minutes, removing ,cooling, and washing out the iron orange vortex. The solution can be transferred into a 250-mL volumetric flask diluting the mark.

 

Tungsten Alloy Recreational Diving Counterweights(2/2)

However, blindly increasing tungsten alloy counterweights to achieve the diving depth is unreasonable, excessive weight, although making the human’s body more easily dive, but negatively buoyant generated by tungsten alloy counterweights will become more difficult to control. Thus, when the diving to a certain depth and required for stay, the adequate, appropriate counterweights must be maintained to keep the neutral buoyancy of body. That is, in recreational diving, you can not blindly increase the tungsten alloy counterweights, but rationally using under the guidance of coaches or professionals.
 
In most cases the the tenth of your body's own weight is the tungsten alloy counterweights that we need or can carry in recreational diving, too much or too little weights will make diving experience becomes unsatisfactory. Because too little weights though will make people can more easily travel underwater in the recreational diving , but you can not dive to the desired depth of the seabed; on the contrary, excessive weight will affect the traveling speed and thus to make diving more difficult, and it is difficult to maintain a stable neutral buoyancy. In short, only the rational and scientific use of tungsten alloy counterweights can achieve satisfactory recreational diving experience, which also can give yourself a memorable underwater journey.

Hydrothermal Method Prepares Tungsten Trioxide Photoanode

Hydrothermal method is the scope of liquid chemical method. It means in chemical reaction, a sealed pressure vessel with water as a solvent, carried out at high temperature and pressure conditions. Hydrothermal reaction depends on the type of reaction that can be divided into hydrothermal oxidation, water and heat reduction, hydrothermal precipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, water hot solution, hydrothermal crystallization. So the hydrothermal method is the most popular method in crystallization.

Experimental Procedure
Hydrothermal methodThe polished clean tungsten sheet was placed in distilled water and ultrasonic cleaning in ethanol were 10min, after drying and controlling the temperature in a muffle furnace at 450 ℃, the tungsten trioxide layer is formed in the calcinations of 30min. Hydrothermal reaction solution of polyethylene glycol (300) 10% is prepared by volume of 0.02mol / L sodium tungstate solution, the solution was adjusted pH2.0 with 3mol / L hydrochloric acid. 25ml of the solution is placed in the Teflon reactor and the tungsten sheet vertically was placed in a pre-oxidized, the reaction temperature is controlled at 180 ℃ 6h. The reaction product was removed with distilled water soak about 10min, and repeating it three times to remove the product surface residue, and then the preparation of tungsten trioxide photoanode is completed after drying calcining at 550 ℃ 180min.

4. c curve is the calcined WO3, corresponding to the monoclinic WO3, which shows three distinct peaks, the highest peak meter bar is vertically grown on the substrate, the height can reach 6.91 microns, which in shows excellent orientation role of tungsten oxide layer of the substrate with polyethylene glycol in the hydrothermal reaction of crystal growth.

Tungsten Alloy Recreational Diving Counterweights(1/2)

It seems hard to talk about the exactly prevailing time of recreational diving all over the world, people’s yearning for the sea and the unknown seabed exploration activities are more and more frequent with the development of science and technology. Like the protagonist of the film "blue sky", which directed by the famous director Luc Besson, was eager to dive into the deep blue sea, and eager to get close with nature. However, due to limitations of the human physique, we can not dive into the seabed the same as the fishes and travel freely without the help of diving equipment. Because the underwater pressure will cause great oppression to human beings’ cardiopulmonary and the oppression will be greater with the increasing depth.
 
When you finished the diving equipment wearing and went into the sea, the weight of your own body and the weight of diving equipment can only let you dive to a certain depth, if you want to continue to dive, it will suffer from resistance generated by the underwater pressure. How to overcome this pressure to make their own can freely adjust the diving depth? The answer is the counterweights. Early recreational diving counterweights were mostly made of lead, but the toxic properties of lead would pollute the sea, which is not the situations that people want to see. Thus, non-toxic and environmental characteristics of tungsten alloy make it a good alternative to lead recreational diving and has become special material for recreational diving counterweights.
