Hydrated Tungsten Oxide
In the process of hydrogen reduction of tungsten oxide , the vapor pressure of tungsten oxide increases obviously when there is water vapor at high temperature. This increase in vapor pressure is due to the reaction of various tungsten oxides with water vapor to form a volatile hydrated tungsten oxide. In the W - O - H system, the hydrated tungsten oxide is much more volatile than other volatile tungsten compounds. Most scholars at home and abroad believe that it is the volatile hydrated tungsten oxide that causes the chemical vapor transfer (CVT) process of tungsten. Moreover, the CVT process runs through the whole stage of the reduction of tungsten oxide and hydrogen. It has a decisive influence on the physical and chemical properties of tungsten powder. In the CVT process, tungsten and its oxides are contacted with water vapor to produce hydrated tungsten oxide , which is volatilized to the gas phase and undergoes a homogeneous reduction reaction with H 2 .
