Ammonium Metatungstate Classes and Usage

Ammonium metatungstate can be used as reagents for chemical analysis such as for chemical diagnosis; source material for the preparation of high purity tungsten trioxide used as a thin film substrate for certain semiconductor devices; high purity source material for research in tungsten chemistry; source material for DENOX catalysts industry; as a precursor to a variety of POM (polyoxometalates). Ammonium metatungstate applied in the manufacture of various petrochemical catalysts, It's the basic raw material of W-base catalyzer used in oil refinery.

ammonium metatungstate

Ammonium metatungstate is a source of high purity, water soluble tungsten which is essentially free of alkali and other metallic impurities. Ammonium metatungstate is very versatile and can be used as catalysts, capacitors, nuclear shielding, flame retardants, corrosion inhibitors raw materials, but also excellent raw materials in the preparation of ultra fine tungsten powder, tungsten heavy alloy powder, phosphotungstic acid, arsenic acid, silicon tungstate.

It is also used as a raw material for the production of tungsten catalysts for a variety of reactions including oxidation, hydroxylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization. Suitable carriers can be impregnated with alkali-free solutions of tungsten and processed to remove the water and ammonia. Such catalysts are used by the petrochemical industry.

Other applications include: reagents for chemical analysis such as for chemical diagnosis; source material for the preparation of high purity tungsten trioxide used as a thin film substrate for certain semiconductor devices; high purity source material for research in tungsten chemistry; source material for DENOX catalysts industry; as a precursor to a variety of POM (polyoxometalates).
