1 - methyl imidazole is one of the important intermediate of imidazoles, which has extensive application in Ionic liquid epoxy resin and curing agent. The traditional synthetic methods of 1 - methyl imidazole are two-step and one-step process, wherein, two-step method is firstly condensing glyoxal and formaldehyde, ammonia water to generate imidazole, then going on a methylation reaction with the dimethyl sulfate finally get 1 - methyl imidazole, however, this process is using the highly toxic raw material of dimethyl sulfate, which will also higher the cost; the one-step method is taking glyoxal, formaldehyde, methylamine and ammonia water as raw materials, but this process exists the shortcomings of low yield, many more by-products and has more troublesome in separating and purifying.
One research has pointed out a new kind of synthesis methods of 1 - methyl imidazole, which is introducing the ammonium metatungstate column brace hydrotalcite as catalyst, using imidazole as raw material, and methanol as the methylation reagent, and through the fixed bed continuous method to directly synthesize 1 - methyl imidazole. The reaction equation is showing as the picture below:
The properties of this method to prepare 1 - methyl imidazole are as follows:
1. The molar ratio of imidazole and the methanol is optimized of 1:4 ~ 6;
2. The reaction conditions are: the pressure in the fixed bed is 0.4 ~ 0.6 MPa, the temperature shall be in 320 ~ 350°C, the reaction liquid feed quality airspeed is 0.3 ~ 0.4 / h;
3. The advantages of simple operation, less pollution and high yield, and is easy to be industrialized production;
4. Ammonium metatungstate (AMT) catalyst has high catalytic activity, small pollution to the environment, long life and other advantages;
5. The methanol used as methylation reagent will lower the cost of raw materials, and also has lower toxicity.
Ammonium metatungstate catalyst is a new kind of catalyst with better property. When methyl alcohol transfers to hydrocarbon, it shows great catalytic ability and unique selectivity. And thus, ammonium metatungstate is widely used in petroleum, electronic, national defense, aviation, metallurgy, anticorrosion and antiflaming, etc. It now becomes new catalytic material, and its application and consumption is increased day by day.

Compared with the ordinary tungsten oxide, hollow porous tungsten oxide sphere because of the larger specific surface area, thus to has the significant size, surface, quantum size and macroscopic quantum tunneling effect, and thereby to expand the application areas, which can be used as a solar absorption, stealth and photocatalytic materials and gas sensitive materials of NOx, H2S and NH3 etc. Ammonium metatungstate (AMT) is an important intermediate compound in tungsten production industry, the excellent raw material for manufacturing tungsten oxide, tungsten powder, tungsten carbide powder and other tungsten products.
A study was taking the ammonium metatungstate solution or a mixture of AMT and ammonium tungstate solution as raw material, to produce hollow porous tungsten oxide sphere through a combination of spray drying method and heat treatment, its technological process is: Preparing ammonium metatungstate solution or a mixture solution of AMT and ammonium tungstate, with the concentration of 200 g/L, then to prepare AMT or mixture of AMT and ammonium tungstate hollow powder; after putting the powder in a furnace to calcine for15-180 min under the temperature of 400-1000℃, we finally get made hollow porous tungsten oxide ball. Its properties are as follows:
1. The concentration of AMT and ammonium tungstate mixture solution is 200g/L, the mass ratio of AMT and ammonium tungstate is 4:1~1~4, heat treatment temperature is 400~1000°C, time of heat preservation is 15~180 min.
2. The spray drying method is using the ammonium tungstate solution, the concentration is 200 g/L, the heat treatment temperature of 400~1000°C, time of heat preservation for 15 ~ 180 min. Because when the temperature is below 400°C, the crystal growth speed is to slow and hard to generate porous; however, when the temperature is higher than 1000°C, the too fast growth speed of crystal will cause the nanosize particle of tungsten oxide hard to control, and thus it will easily get the coarse tungsten oxide particle which will reduce the specific surface area. While, when the heat preservation time is less than 15 minutes, the crystal growth is not completely; but when the holding time is higher than 180 min, it will come out combination of crystal and cause the coarse tungsten oxide particle.

Waste tungsten oxide, including the scrapped, the not qualified which must be reworked to improve the quality indicators of tungsten trioxide, blue tungsten oxide and others. During the production, using process, or in the case of large inventories, tungsten oxide may not reach a certain specific standards due to various reasons, or directly scrapped. However, these waste tungsten oxide still contains a high content of tungsten, since the tungsten is a rare metal element, thus a more effective approach to reuse waste the tungsten is turning waste into treasure.
Ammonium metatungstate (AMT) is an important raw material in tungsten smelting industry, catalyst for petrochemical industry and other fields. The ways of waste tungsten oxide as raw materials to produce ammonium metatungstate are many; however, since tungsten trioxide and blue tungsten oxide are not soluble or slightly soluble in ammonia water, which only soluble in caustic soda or soda ash. Therefore, the traditional process is cooking and dissolving tungsten oxide under the normal or high pressure by using caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) or soda ash (sodium carbonate) solution, to generate sodium tungstate solution; or melting tungsten oxide with soda ash (sodium carbonate) under high temperature, and then leaching tungsten by water to produce sodium tungstate solution, and then get AMT by the follow-up process, the three processes are as follows:
1. Extract tungsten by an organic solvent and reextract tungsten by ammonia water from the sodium tungstate solution to convert tungsten into ammonium tungstate solution, and finally obtain ammonium metatungstate from the ammonium tungstate solution by evaporation crystallization or neutralization crystallization;
2. The tungstate solution is adsorbed by the ion exchange resin tungsten and ammonia desorption of tungsten, to convert tungsten into ammonium tungstate solution, and finally manufacture AMT from ammonium tungstate solution by evaporation crystallization or neutralization crystallization method;
3. Precipitate the artificial scheelite (calcium tungstate) from sodium tungstate solution with calcium chloride, and then produce tungstic acid by decomposing artificial scheelite with hydrochloric acid, then the tungstic acid is dissolved in ammonia solution to generate ammonium tungstate solution, finally, the AMT is prepared by evaporation crystallization or neutralization crystallization method from the ammonium tungstate solution.
In addition, studies have pointed out the method of using ammonia water to dissolve waste tungsten oxide and to prepare AMT, which is in accordance with the property of tungsten oxide is easily soluble in ammonia water under the high temperature and pressure conditions and generate ammonium tungstate solution, and then produce ammonium metatungstate by neutralization transformation - spray drying method from ammonium tungstate.
