How to store Ammonium Metatungstate correctly?

Proper storage of ammonium metatungstate requires attention to the following aspects to ensure its stability and safety:

 

  1. Storage temperature

Normal temperature storage

Ammonium metatungstate should be stored at room temperature, and the usually recommended temperature range is 15-25℃. Avoid too high or too low temperature because high temperature may accelerate the chemical reaction and solvent volatilization, while low temperature may lead to solvent freezing or formation of ice crystals, which may affect the uniformity and stability of the dispersion.

 

Cool and ventilated

The storage place should be cool and ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight, in order to minimize photochemical reactions and the accumulation of harmful gases.

 

  1. Moisture and sealing

Moisture-proof measures

Ammonium metatungstate is a substance susceptible to moisture, so it must be kept dry when stored. Choose tightly sealed containers, such as glass bottles or volumetric bottles, to prevent air and moisture from entering.

 

Sealing Containers

Ensure that storage containers are well sealed to minimize the influence of the external environment on ammonium metatungstate.

 

III. Chemical compatibility

Avoid contact

Ammonium metatungstate should avoid contact with organic substances, alkaline substances and acidic gases. These substances may react with it, leading to explosion, release of toxic gases or reduction of its stability.

 

Separate Placement

When storing, it should be stored separately from oxidizers, edible chemicals, etc. Do not mix them.

 

Storage environment and safety

Fire prevention measures

Ammonium metatungstate should be kept away from fire source, heat source and flammable substances to prevent fire and explosion.

 

Marking and warning

Obvious marking and warning labels should be affixed on the storage containers to remind the operators of the danger and the correct storage method.

 

  1. Periodic Inspection and Maintenance

Regular Inspection

Regularly inspect the stored ammonium metatungstate to observe whether there is any change in its color, smell and condition, and whether there is any sign of leakage or damage to the container.

 

Record and update

Establish storage records and update the storage status and usage of ammonium metatungstate in time, so that problems can be found in time and corresponding measures can be taken.

 

In summary, proper storage of ammonium metatungstate requires attention to various aspects such as storage temperature, humidity and sealing, chemical compatibility, storage environment and safety as well as regular inspection and maintenance. Only by strictly observing these requirements can the stability and safety of ammonium metatungstate be ensured, providing better guarantee for laboratory work.
