Ammonium Paratungstate Purification from Complex Scheelite Ore
Tungsten ore is mainly scheelite. The world's scheelite accounts for more than 2/3 of total, and China accounts for 72.1%. Some scholars have improved the method of using ammonium sulphate to decompose scheelite to prepare ammonium partrungstate . (1) Tungsten containing sulphuric acid and phosphorus mixed acid solution, wherein the concentration of tungsten trioxide is 25-150g/L, the concentration of phosphoric acid is 10 ~ 200g/L, and the concentration of sulphuric acid is 1.5 ~ 2.5mol/L. (2) The obtained tungsten containing mixed solution of sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid was mixed with oil to extract the two phase volume ratio of oil phase: water phase = 3:1-1:3, and the loading organic phase was obtained. (3) The obtained load organic phase was extracted by distilling water with volume ratio as oil phase: water phase = 3:1-10:1, and the stripping solution was obtained. (4) Ammonia was added to the stripping solution to control the free ammonia in the solution at 1-2mol/L a
