production method | potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 is mixed with tungsten powder and can burn when heated, the temperature can be raised to about 1700 ℃ in the range of 0 × 1~0 × 2s, and Potassium tungstate and chromium oxide are obtained. In addition, when W interacts with KOH, K2WO4:2W 3O2 4KOH2K2WO4 2H2O W 4KOHK2WO4 2K 2H2 does not react with KOH solution in the absence of oxygen, but acts slightly with oxygen, forming K2WO4. W and KOH melt: no oxygen when the role of slow (such as at 660 deg C when nitrogen oxygen), the formation of K2WO4, H2 and K. In the presence of an oxidizing agent (e. G., KNO3, SnO2, KClO3, PbO2, etc.), the reaction can be intense. |
