Ultrafine Ammonium Metatungstate Acquisition Strategy
Ammonium metatungstate (AMT) is one of the most important raw materials and precursors for the preparation of WC. The structure and properties of WC are affected by the physical and chemical properties of precursor. The particle size and structure of precursor will greatly influence the process of reduction and carbonization in the late stage, and then affect the catalytic activity of WC catalyst. In order to obtain precursor with good particle size and good structure, spray drying is usually used. Spray drying has many advantages, such as simple process, no pollution, homogeneous composition, and suitable for mass production. The basic principle of spray drying method is ammonium metatungstate solution by spray drying, in a few seconds, water quickly evaporated into powder, physical and chemical properties of homogeneous granular, hollow spherical or spherical solid products. Many scholars have found that in the spray drying process, the concentration of ammonium tungstate solution h...
