What Is Conversion Relationship Between Ammonium Metatungstate and Metallic Tungsten?

The conversion relationship between ammonium metatungstate (AMT) and metallic tungsten is mainly reflected in the extraction and refining process of tungsten. The following is a detailed explanation of the conversion relationship between them:

Ammonium metatungstate as a raw material for metallic tungsten

Ammonium metatungstate is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula HN₆OW, which is a white crystalline powder or slightly yellow. It is widely used in the production of metallic tungsten and is one of the important raw materials for the production of metallic tungsten.

Ammonium metatungstate can be used to manufacture various petrochemical catalysts and other tungsten compounds, and is the main raw material for tungsten-based catalysts in refineries.

Conversion process

Ammonium metatungstate can be converted into metallic tungsten under specific chemical reactions and process conditions. This process usually involves a reduction reaction in which ammonium metatungstate is reduced to metallic tungsten by a reducing agent (such as hydrogen, carbon, etc.).

The reduction of ammonium metatungstate is a complex process that may require high temperatures and other specific reaction conditions. In this process, the tungsten element in ammonium metatungstate is reduced from +6 valence to 0 valence, thereby generating metallic tungsten.

Key information in the transformation relationship

The molecular weight and exact mass of ammonium metatungstate provide important information about its chemical properties, which is essential for understanding its behavior during the transformation process.

Ammonium metatungstate has a wide range of uses, not only limited to the production of metallic tungsten, but also involving the manufacture of other tungsten compounds and the preparation of catalysts.

Ammonium metatungstate can be prepared by a variety of methods, including solvent extraction, ion exchange, neutralization, tungstic acid method and thermal decomposition. The choice of these preparation methods depends on factors such as the source of the raw materials, purity requirements and production costs.

The transformation relationship between ammonium metatungstate and metallic tungsten is achieved through a reduction reaction, in which ammonium metatungstate is reduced to metallic tungsten as a raw material. This process is one of the key steps in the tungsten smelting process and is essential for the production of high-quality metallic tungsten. At the same time, the wide application of ammonium metatungstate also reflects its important position in the chemical industry.
