Direct Hydrothermal Precipitation of Pyrochlore-Type Tungsten Trioxide Hemihydrate

Pyrochlore-type tungsten trioxide hemihydrate (WO3·0.5H2O) powder with the average particle size of 0.5μm was prepared successfully from the weak alkaline sodium tungstate solution by using organic substances of sucrose or cisbutenedioic acid as the acidification agent. The influences of solution pH and acidification agents on the precipitation process were investigated. The results showed that organic acidification agents such as sucrose and cisbutenedioic acid could improve the precipitation of pyrochlore WO3·0.5H2O greatly from sodium tungstate solution compared with the traditional acidification agent of hydrochloric acid. In addition, the pH value of the hydrothermal system played a critical role in the precipitation process of WO3·0.5H2O, and WO3·0.5H2O precipitation mainly occured in the pH range of 7.0 to 8.5. The precipitation rate of tungsten species in the sodium tungstate solution could reach up to 98 pct under the optimized hydrothermal conditions. This article proposed also the hydrothermal precipitation mechanism of WO3·0.5H2O from the weak alkaline sodium tungstate solution. The novel method reported in this study has a great potential to improve the efficiency of advanced tungsten trioxide-based functional material preparation, as well as for the pollution-reducing and energy-saving tungsten extractive metallurgy.

Analyzing Conditions of VTO Hydrogen Reduction Process

VTO hydrogen reduction process conditions include: reduction temperature, the amount of loading the boat, push the boat speed, the flow of hydrogen, hydrogen and hydrogen-way humidity will now analyze the various factors in order to optimize the process conditions.

(1) reduction temperature. The reduction temperature from tungsten in purple key role in the restoration process, but also affect the temperature of the partial pressure of the dynamic process and hydrated tungsten volatile compounds. The reduction temperature is high, coarse, low temperature, can bypass WO2 of reaction, fine granularity.

(2) the amount loaded boat. How many boat loading capacity is mainly reflected in the material thickness, material layer on the external diffusion of water vapor resistance material thickness, high resistance to slow the proliferation of granularity is coarse, and vice versa.

(3) push speed. If you push the boat fast, VTO low temperature preheat temperature unevenness already pushed rapidly with moisture will lead to a substantial increase but can not be discharged, resulting in the formation of hydrated tungsten compound, resulting particles grow .

(4) the hydrogen flow. Increasing the hydrogen flow helps steam quickly, timely discharge, reduce or avoid the generation of hydrated tungsten, and strengthen the exchange of material. Flow, fine granularity, but not too big, too easy to bring out resulting in low recovery of materials and tube blockage.

(5) hydrogen humidity. Humidity is easy to generate hydrated tungsten compound, causing the particle size grew. When hydrogen dew point of -65 ℃ or less can be achieved dry hydrogen states.

(6) through hydrogen mode. Shun inverse hydrogen and hydrogen can be used to produce ultra-fine tungsten powder, and their advantages.

Measuring Tungsten Oxide Physical Characteristics

As we all know, the physical characteristics of the tungsten oxide include specific surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution. Ammonium tungsten bronze (ATB), hydrogen tungsten bronze (HTB), purple tungsten oxide (TVO) and blue tungsten oxide (TBO) four kinds of tungsten oxide powder, the use of adsorption / desorption isotherms can be a good measure of the oxide physical characteristics: BET specific surface area such as, micropore volume, the pore volume, pore size distribution and fractional dimension.

(1)TVO has a maximum in the pore volume, the minimum value of the fractal dimension, a very smooth surface, which is conducive to the discharge of water let into the hydrogen, it is beneficial to use a hydrogen reduction process producing ultrafine tungsten powder. However, because the minimum micropore volume, the largest average pore size, pore size distribution and the narrowest having a wedge hole, which is not conducive to the doping process.

(2)HTB has the largest pore volume, maximum value of the fractal dimension (meaning very rough surface), the smallest average pore diameter and have open at one end, closed end cylindrical pore model, this is it for the doping process desirable.

(3)ATB and TBO HTB are smaller than have micropore volume and specific mesopore volume smaller TVO, ATB have a slit-like pore model, TBO having a pore structure open at both ends, for the hydrogen reduction process is, ATB and TVO TBO are not ideal for the doping process it, ATB and HTB TBO are not ideal.

(4)For the hydrogen reduction process or are required to study the physical characteristics of tungsten oxide before the doping process.

Electrospinning Process is Applied to Tungsten Oxide

Electrospinning technology originated in the 1930s and 1940s. Electrostatic spinning apparatus comprises generally connected to each of the following three parts: a high voltage power supply, a small diameter needle and a capillary tube to collect spinning metal foil, graphite paper collection means.

High voltage power supply for applying a high electric field, so that the charged polymer droplets. Before spinning the polymer droplet collection means reaches solution will evaporate, leaving the crosslinked fibers on spinning collecting device. Needle tube, one end of the high-voltage electrode and the other end connected to the power supply connection collection device containing solution. Droplet surface with a charge of driving under the high pressure will produce the opposite of the surface tension force. With the enhancement of the electric field, the droplets become stretched from the needle by a semi-circular cone, known as the Taylor cone. Taylor cone in the form of droplets ejected from the needle, through the non-stabilized and drawn two processes, thus becomes long and thin, while, as the solvent evaporates, leaving the fibers charged in the After air-curing, arrived on the collection device. Electrospinning the fiber diameter is generally formed about 3nm ~ 1μm.

Electrospinning process can also be applied in the preparation of tungsten oxide. As with WCl6 tungsten source, PVP and DMF were prepared under conditions of 16kV a precursor fibers and prepared at high temperature tungsten oxide nanofibers gas sensing performance as polymer carrier and solvent. With PVB as a carrier by electrostatic spinning process to produce tungsten oxide nanowires have electrochromic properties.
