Tungsten Oxide

Because violet tungsten oxide (VTO) producing process and process parameters are simple as well as equipment are easy to control and many advantages so many manufactures are like to use VTO to producing tungsten powder. VTO cycle reduction method can producing excellent performance submicron or micro tungsten powder particles, to further understand tungsten powder in the reactions process which is used cycle reduction method will conducive to the future development and maturity of this method. After studies, VTO is first hydrogen reduced to tungsten powder and the specific surface area of tungsten oxide is 0.141m 2  • g -1  and particle size mainly between 4.72-12.13um. Compared with the original VTO particle size distribution, after first reduction the particle of VTO is significantly thinner, but still existing coarse particles. The tungsten powder in the air oxidation to tungsten trioxide for the first the specific surface area of it is 0.145m 2  • g -1,  which is 1.13 tim

Learning blue tungsten oxide (BTO) phase morphology, size and uniformity, help to improve the performance blue tungsten oxide, so that it can be applied in more areas. To produce blue tungsten oxide is boat loading ammonium paratungstate (APT) to the hot zone and during the process to control the hydrogen flow, temperature and holding time these three parameters to produced blue tungsten oxide. By using hydrogen reduction method to produce blue tungsten oxide and the surface of it has a large number of cracks and voids star, breakage obviously, it has lost the characteristics of hexagonal grains, forming a loose rule like appearance. Blue tungsten oxide surface has cracks is due to a large amount of water molecules and ammonium molecules which is produced from APT decomposition during the reaction. So the crystal inside of APT will cause inner stress to make crystal lattice mutation, resulting in cracks. At the same time, the external hydrogen to penetrate APT inside promoted deep

A purity of more than 99.9% WO3 into a porcelain crucible, porcelain crucible and then placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at 800℃ 1 hour coolish placed in a desiccator, cool room temperature. Accurately weighed 0.25g tungsten trioxide into 100ml beaker, with 20% NaOH20ml, heating completely dissolved, after cooling into 250ml volumetric flask, dilute to the mark and shake, this solution was transferred to a plastic bottle dry spare.

Solid phase analysis Weigh a sample in 50ml of 0.200 ~ 0.500g iron crucible

After analysis using blue tungsten oxide to produce tungsten powder by cyclic oxidation found the tungsten powder particle size is small, and good performance. From the experimental data show that after the first reduction tungsten powder‘s specific surface area is 0.119m2 / g which is 1.95times to blue tungsten oxide’s. From this we can see that tungsten powder particle size is smaller than the blue tungsten oxide and distribution is more concentrated, but there is a certain amount of coarse particles of tungsten powder.  In the second reduction which is using obtained tungsten powder in the air restore to tungsten trioxide then using hydrogen to make the second reduction. And the tungsten powder which obtained from the second reduction is finer. Comparing tungsten powder of the first reduction and the second reduction find in the second reduction there has more fine tungsten powder than first reduction, its particle size distribution is more uniform, but there are a small number
