Ammonium metatungstate hydrate will undergo a series of changes at high temperature, which can be summarized as follows:
- Loss of water of crystallization:
o Ammonium metatungstate hydrate gradually loses its water of crystallization at elevated temperatures. This is a process of thermal decomposition in which water molecules escape from the crystal structure, leading to structural changes in the compound.
- Formation of metatungstate:
o At the beginning of decomposition, ammonium metatungstate first loses its water of crystallization to form metatungstate. This is an intermediate step and metatungstate is the main form present until all the water of crystallization is lost.
- Further decomposition:
o As the temperature increases, metatungstic acid undergoes further redox reactions to reduce to tungsten oxide. This process gives off oxygen and may be accompanied by the production of other gases such as ammonia. 4. Product analysis: o Metatungstic acid is the main form of metatungstic acid before it crystallizes.
- The product is analyzed:
o The main decomposition product of ammonium metatungstate hydrate at elevated temperatures is tungsten oxide. In addition, reaction products such as ammonia and water may also be produced. Tungsten oxide is the main product and can be used to prepare other tungstates and various tungsten alloys.
- Decomposition temperature:
o The decomposition temperature of ammonium metatungstate hydrate is usually in the range of 400°C to 500°C. o The decomposition temperature of ammonium metatungstate hydrate is usually in the range of 400°C to 500°C. This temperature range may be affected by a variety of factors such as heating rate, atmosphere air pressure, and impurities.
6 Influencing factors:
o The specifics of the decomposition process and product composition may be affected by experimental conditions. For example, different heating rates, types of atmospheres (e.g., pure hydrogen atmospheres), and purity of the feedstock may affect the decomposition temperatures and product compositions.
- Safety Precautions:
o Since ammonium metatungstate hydrate emits gases such as oxygen and ammonia at high temperatures, it is necessary to take appropriate safety precautions, such as maintaining good ventilation and avoiding sources of ignition, during the treatment process.
To summarize, ammonium metatungstate hydrate will undergo the process of losing crystalline water, forming metatungstic acid, and further reducing to tungsten oxide at high temperature, and may produce reaction products such as ammonia gas and water. Its decomposition temperature is usually around 400°C-500°C, but the specific will be affected by the experimental conditions. Safety issues need to be taken care of in the process.
