The strong acids used in the production process of ammonium metatungstate mainly include the following:
Hydrofluoric acid (HF)
Hydrofluoric acid is a commonly used strong acid with strong corrosiveness and toxicity. In the initial stage of Ammonium Metatungstate production, i.e. the tungsten ore extraction process, hydrofluoric acid is used to extract tungsten elements from tungsten ore to form a tungsten slurry suspension. This step is one of the key steps in the production of ammonium metatungstate.
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
Besides hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid is also one of the strong acids commonly used in the production of ammonium metatungstate. Sulfuric acid is also strongly corrosive and oxidizing, and plays an important role in the extraction process of tungsten ore. The amount of sulfuric acid used may vary depending on the specific process and production conditions, but its main function as an extractant is to leach tungsten elements from the minerals.
Nitric acid (HNO₃)
In the tungsten nitrate precipitation stage, nitric acid is used to cause the elemental tungsten in solution to undergo a redox reaction to form tungsten oxides and precipitate out the fine particles. This step is an important link in the production process of ammonium metatungstate, and the amount of nitric acid used is usually determined according to the content of tungsten in the solution and the reaction conditions.
The strong acids used in the production process of ammonium metatungstate mainly include hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. These strong acids play an important role in key steps such as extraction of tungsten ore and precipitation of tungsten nitrate, but they are also strongly corrosive and toxic, and need to be strictly controlled in terms of the amount used and the treatment process in order to avoid harming the environment and human health. In the actual production process, the appropriate type and usage amount of strong acid should be selected according to the specific process and production conditions, and effective safety measures and environmental protection measures should be taken to ensure the safety and environmental protection of the production process.
