Application | is mainly used for making metal tungsten, tungsten wire, cemented carbide, tungstate, it can also be used as printing and dyeing auxiliaries mordant for textile industry, and also used for the preparation of tungsten and tungsten filaments mainly used for making metal tungsten, tungsten filaments, tungstate, cemented carbide, etc. Also used as a petrochemical catalyst, printing and dyeing auxiliaries and lubricants. |
production method | The solution is filtered by the decomposition method of calcium tungstate-hydrochloric acid after grinding the tungsten ore and sodium hydroxide, after purification, it is subjected to metathesis reaction with calcium chloride solution to obtain calcium tungstate, and then treated with hydrochloric acid, and the produced tungstic acid is washed, dried and pulverized to obtain a tungstic acid product.

Mn(OH)2Na2WO4 CaCl2 → CaWO4 2NaClCaWO4 2HCl → H2WO4 CaCl2 ammonium paratungstate-hydrochloric acid decomposition method after alkaline hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide, with hydrochloric acid, ammonium chloride solution, filtered and washed, the refined ammonium tungstate solution is obtained, and then hydrochloric acid is hydrolyzed to obtain tungstic acid. After dehydration, drying and pulverization, the tungstic acid product is obtained. MnWO4? FeWO4 4NaOH→2Na2WO4 Fe(OH)2?
