【Know Tungsten】What is Tungstic Acid?

Tungstic acid is yellow and shiny flaky crystal or crystalline powder, soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, and slightly soluble in ammonia. Weathering in the air. When heated to 100°C, it loses crystal water and becomes anhydrous. It reacts with strong acids (except hydrofluoric acid) to form water-insoluble yellow tungstic acid. It reacts with phosphoric acid or phosphate to form phosphotungstic heteropoly acid complex. It reacts with organic acids such as tartaric acid, citric acid, and oxalic acid to form corresponding organic acid complexes. compound.

Preparation

Tungsten trioxide reacts with sodium hydroxide, or tungsten concentrate and sodium hydroxide are pressure-cooked to generate a tungstic acid solution. After refining, filtration, ion exchange and other processes, the impurities are separated, and then evaporated and crystallized to obtain a tungstic acid product.

The uses of tungstic acid include the following aspects:

1. Tungstic acid is an important chemical raw material that can be used to manufacture metal tungsten, tungsten wire, tungstate, etc.

2. Due to the rich color of tungstic acid, it can be used as mordant, pigment, dye and ink.

3. Tungstic acid is used as a fabric weighting agent or fabric auxiliary in the textile industry. A mixture of tungstic acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, etc. can be used to make fibers fireproof and waterproof. This fiber can be used to make fireproof rayon and rayon. Can also be used for leather tanning.

4. Used for electroplating coating anti-corrosion.

5. Used as a co-solvent to introduce enamel color materials, which can reduce the firing temperature and complement the color.

6. Used in the petroleum industry and the manufacturing of aviation and aerospace materials.

 

【Know Tungsten】What Is Violet Tungsten Oxide?

Violet tungsten oxide, named for its violet appearance, is a violet or blue-violet fine crystal-like powder.

Violet tungsten oxide is usually produced by controlling certain reduction conditions using ammonium paratungstate, tungstic acid or tungsten trioxide as raw materials. The preparation methods of violet tungsten usually include APT wet hydrogen direct reduction method, hydrogen tungstate reduction method, APT mild reduction method, etc.

Due to the special needle-like or fine columnar crystal structure of violet tungsten oxide, and its more abundant cracks than other tungsten oxide particles (all tungsten oxide particles have abundant cracks inside), this structure has large gaps, making Its bulk density is low, which is beneficial to reduction or other reactions. The uses of violet tungsten oxide are as follows:

1. Preparation of tungsten powder, especially the preparation of nanometer, submicron or ultra-fine tungsten powder;

2. Used in gas sensors, showing good gas sensitivity to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at room temperature;

3. Preparation of tungsten carbide powder and ultrafine WC-Co powder.

4. Raw materials for the production of glass thermal insulation coating dispersions.

5. Additives for lithium battery cathode materials.
